Hello Friends, and welcome if you’re new here.
When you’re running your own business, sometimes things slip.
I let my newsletter Font Love Friday and Other Designery Things Newsletter slip into May... I didn’t send an April edition. Regular subscribers know it's normally out on the last Friday of the month... So to make up for it, here is a mini May edition!
This week marks the end of school life for my two teens. So many mixed emotions! Both are creating designs for their leavers shirts. My daughter says to me “Mum, do you have any fonts to design my shirt?” Errr, incoming 20 mins of me researching and chatting about what would look good for something she would forget in a year's time! But today - it’s very important.
Do you feel like that with your work? At the time you think “this is THE ONE” but when you look at it later, you think “why on earth did I choose that??” That’s why it’s important not to get too caught up with the trends, especially with fonts. Think about what will stand the test of time. Well, at least for a good few years. Want to see the font we went for?
It’s a Comic Graffiti Font. It’s not a serious one. But it’s great fun for playful projects. The creators say: “Waosh combines the rebellious spirit of street art with the whimsical nature of comic fonts. This unique blend results in a font that is both edgy and playful, perfect for projects that need a touch of creative flair.”
There are hundreds of graffiti styles out there. Also do you remember the days when street art was seen as a terrible thing? Now councils commission it! Don’t be doing anything illegal, always seek permission before you create on an empty wall - oh, hello Banksy!
