Hi there,
What a lot of people dont know is that the internet provides you with almost everything you need to look all artistic and such. I used to think that the people who create magazine layouts and fashion displays are true artists. Well, this thought has not faded I still am more but intimidated by them-but one thing I have learned on top: Creativity is also knowing where your sources are. So if you have pretty fonts and if you have great pictures and remember how to make a collage from when you were younger you can create great things. Often when I make something for a project my friends take a look at it. And they are always really fascinated about one thing. My eyes are all dried out by looking at Indesign and Photoshop and I have been cutting png’s for months- layering like crazy- coloring, clipping and so on and what do my friends point at with shiny eyes? The font (Deutsch: Schrifttyp). ‘This is really nice.’
I love them for that. It is like looking at a Picasso and then being amazed by his signature. Please do not criticize me for comparing myself to Picasso. That was not the intention.
Weeeell, enough jip-jap: Today I want to show those who do not know that there are hundreds of great fonts for free available online and present my at the moment top 8.


These are all free- you just have to download the files- and then install them and they will be available at Word, Indesign, Photoshop but also PowerPoint, etc. It is really easy and fun. Back to the whole 'KNOW YOUR SOURCES'- talk. I found the flower from the collage above at TheGraphicsFairy a page with lovely pictures to use. And then I just cut it and put it in my font-collage and it looks a lot nicer. Love the internet mostly for that. Getting things I can use.

So long then and byebye!
