    If you guys need help with color go to a bookstore/web and look up color theory. Even a color wheel. in order to make colors POP you need to use contrast. Thats what I used and it helps me use colors that I am not comfortable with but make sections stand out.

    *EDIT-I am also in the process of coming up with a book that breaks down letter structure. A how to from the most basic to complex shit going through my head. I've seen how to graff books and they aren't that great. I understand it's difficult when you don't have someone(or a crew) to help with the creative process when you want to move on from simple styles.
