DESIGNING AND
ENGROSSING

COVER
This cover in part shows a style
of pen art in vogue more than half
a century ago and only a few old
fossils like myself persist in representing
creatures of the feathered
kingdom in light and shaded off-hand
strokes.
In case you do not know, the bird
shown is an eagle in a stunt flying
act, aping the aviator of today. Best
of all let's call it an exercise stunt
in off-hand pen work. In copying
this cover you may use something
else in place of the eagle; anything
in keeping with the aim or purpose
of the magazine. However, in case
you would try your hand on the
flourishing do this part flrst.
Carefully pencil the lettering, espe-
cially the words "The Educator", giv-
ing close attention to uniform size
and spacing. Stipple face of the let-
ters with special attention to color
values. Use a Gillott 170 pen for

this woi-k. Rule in heavy black line
on right side of letters. A number
2% pen was used on words beginning
with "Handwriting". See that
all parts of design are in balance,
using centre line as basis of measurement.
