Go to the page on Layout and watch all the videos posted to understand design layout.
Download and install all the file folders in the Teams file folder so you will have a variety of fonts to work with.
Choose a font family and stick to using that font family for the whole project. (Many of the font families I have given you contain a script, sans serif, and serif type face that all work well together.)
Go to Design Cuts to see how the fonts are used and understand how other designers have used them effectively. This will help you with your layout.
Use Grid Builder in Illustrator to design a good composition, (this layer will eventually be hidden.) Make sure you read the PDF in the Teams folder on how to use Grid Builder.
Put in your type to match the layout you created with Grid Builder on a separate layer from the grid builder.
Now you are ready to create the chalk effect and can follow the tutorials for doing that.
