Life Of E's

I receive design tips from Pamela Wilson (who provides GREAT information).  This morning, after receiving her tips, I asked if she would allow me to post part of it on the blog and she said, yes!  Note the link to the special report:  Ten Design Mistakes at the bottom of the post.  It’s VERY helpful and worth reading. 

In Search of Great Typefaces (posted with permission from the author, Pamela Wilson)

It’s easy to find typefaces on the web at low or no cost. Many, though, are low quality, and will make your business look unprofessional. A quality, full-family typeface that represents your business is a great investment, and since typeface technology doesn’t evolve as quickly as software, your typeface should still be as usable in 20 years as it is today.  Fonts.com and Myfonts.com are two good resources. 

For no cost typefaces, try these links. Remember, go for quality, readability, and a full family of weights if possible:

searchfreefonts.com | dafont.com | urbanfonts.com

These two links from Smashing magazine feature beautiful no-cost typefaces: 

Smashing magazine 40 fonts | Smashing magazine 15 fonts

Best wishes,
