Posted on November 10, 2012 by admin466 views

When I become an added active designer Im finding myself suddenly inspired by fonts (talk about geeky). Every once in a while I see the font I’ve recognised about for more than a decade and all of the sudden realize it’s gloriousness. To do, Impact is having its toll in me. I merely love it… nothing additional to say. It’s actually a great bold font in which screams " GO THROUGH ME" For a little bit it was Clarendon, after that Georgia… now I’m back to good ol’ Consequence. What’s your font from the moment I’d like to collect a collection of great fonts. I find that hard to search the thousands out there… one at a period of time I can consider. CHANGE: Names of fonts… not necessarily actual fonts (meaning you should not break copyright rules) ONE. Century Gothic – At all times stylish/minamalistic general purpose sans-serif. ONLY TWO. Ariston – Used this for a project for any Dance/Ballet school (similar towards the typeface shown around the UK KFC adverts) THREE.

What’s your handle it You need consistency in a person’s work. I wouldn’t vary type face excessive. I would never have any further then Two or tree for one web site. Perhaps one for headings after which you can another for shape text. MY PARTNER AND I wouldn’t change somewhere between pages though. I’m sure that the shape text shoudl stay exactly the same throughout the site. Headers and sidebars etc may vary in style so that as I said prior to, perhaps your headings should be a different type. I never vary the kind too much. Just different styles … Continue reading →

It’s a little bit bland, … Continue reading →
