Products made for graphic designers – like templates, vector art, and type designs – can be a great source of passive income for typographers and graphic designers. By coming up with a brilliant idea or design, crafting it to perfection, and making it available for purchase, you’re not only doing work that you love, but you’ve found a way to continuously earn money every single time that product is licensed for use.
Jeremy Vessey grabbed that opportunity by the reins when he established Hustle Supply Co., his own studio and online marketplace for graphic design goodies. Jeremy has an innate sense of what products would do well, and it’s largely based on creating things that he would use in his own workflow. He considers himself to be his “own best customer” when it comes to designing products like graphic templates and type designs. And while he’s got years of experience as a digital maker of sorts, he never fails to learn something new during the course of each new project he takes on.
Jeremy’s best work typically happens during those late hours when much of the world around him is fast asleep. An idea flashes like lightning and he gets to work fleshing it out to completion, a process that might take anywhere from 8 to 24 non-consecutive hours to finish. Jeremy has a strong work ethic when it comes to the products he offers through Hustle Supply Co., and his attention to detail is evident in everything he does. His work has been licensed by companies like John St., Kohl’s, and Google, among a long list of many others.
Hustle Supply Co. focuses largely on graphic design templates and type designs, and one of its more recent releases is Belfast – A Dry Brush Script.
Belfast – A Dry Brush Script offers inky, somewhat-thin cursive letterforms with a soft, dry brushed texture. This is a rather signature-style type design, one that carries a very organically and naturally hand drawn appearance wherever it’s applied. Belfast – A Dry Brush Script is ideal for any design project that needs a touch of hand-written cursive, including fashion spreads, advertising, signage, social media imagery, logos, labels, menus, event programs, merchandise, and apparel. It’s a brilliant addition to product packaging, especially for anything homemade or organically grown, including food, jewelry, or cosmetic and beauty products. Belfast – A Dry Brush Script performs beautifully in greeting cards, thank-you notes, save-the-date postcards, and wedding invitations that need a handwritten, personalized touch.
If you’re looking for design ideas, Jeremy notes that this type design works wonderfully with gold leaf, watercolor, and india ink textures.
Belfast – A Dry Brush Script provides lettering in Regular and Oblique, and it also includes a set of 54 Swashes for greater design versatility. Belfast – A Dry Brush Script includes discretionary ligatures, alternates, and 26 alternate lowercase characters for ending your words. It extends multilingual support to Basic Latin, Western European, and Pan African Latin for accessibility.
Hustle Supply Co. currently offers more than 40 products through YouWorkForThem, providing a range of expertly-rendered handcrafted type designs that range from vintage to contemporary design aesthetics.
