Let’s talk about fonts! In most cases, we have talked about our beloved Google Fonts, as they are used on websites and combine well, being one of the largest source fonts. However, today, without a precedent ;), we will talk about three fonts that are not Google Fonts (because there is life after them …) that are also free and licensed for personal and commercial use.
I’m sure most of you know of what I speak. You’re waiting for the pictures of your client to incorporate them into your design. You have everything ready, the reserved space, and the precise dimensions. You do not care if the work is a web or a graphic design or even an editorial job. You need that logo, those images. There comes an email. It’s your client.
When choosing a range of colours for our designs, there is no absolute truth to choose the right one, as there is no way to be totally wrong in the election (well, maybe this does happen .) We must choose the range of colours that best suits what we want to reflect.
We do not like all colours equally. There are colours we like more than others because we identify with them. The fashion, for instance, is largely responsible for this. We will always prefer colours that make us feel better and happier, colours that make your friends think “how pretty you are”
Thanks to one of my Christmas presents, a Typodarium, I am discovering great fonts of new artists, but I will talk about them another day because today is the time to open-source fonts like Google Fonts. Thus, today I am sharing with you some of the Google Fonts we usually use at SiloCreativo.
One advantage that HTML5 has brought to the field of web design is that it includes a HTML tags structure much more semantic, i.e., a markup with a meaning for what will truly serve said identifier. In other words, HTML5 has made to the web designer the job much easier than with previous versions, especially when we have to modify a web design of a colleague.
When it comes to put a photo on a website, a blog or to make a poster, I recommend you to use your own images, but often we do not have the image we wish or it needs some retouching that slow down our work. That is why it is good to know what the stock images are and what they are for, especially since the web and graphic works are one of the most important resources to develop projects.
