unnamed y4ryj2erky Helvetica Art, Posters, Typography, Clothing, Books & More [Ultimate Collection]

Helvetica is most definitely my most favourite font out of all the fonts I’ve ever used. I just love how stream line and minimal it is. It fits nearly every situation and works with nearly everything. There’s something really cool about this font which makes it stand out. Most people probably don’t look at fonts as art, but some do. You’ll see the Helvetica font used in many different things so watch out for it.

Free Handwritten Fonts

Masana, BabyDoll, Gameful, Rock Salt – these words could, perhaps, easily suit as the names for some music bands. However, they have nothing to do with music, because these are all the names of computer fonts, sharing one similar feature – they are all handwritten fonts. Handwriting belongs to the earliest forms of typography or font design. Throughout its long history, handwritten fonts evolved greatly, but their authenticity, specific charm, and unique appearance, which is impossible to confuse with any other font style, has remained the same or even improved with the introduction of digital typography. Among handwritten fonts you can find really world-popular and well-known masterpieces, such as Walt Disney Script, for example. Today, we have a collection of free handwritten fonts to share with our audience and reveal the true artistic value of such fonts.

HTML5 and CSS3: Wireframing in the final product

wdd9 HTML5 and CSS3: Wireframing in the final product
It’s a classic case of Photoshop versus website. Existing wireframing and prototyping tools are incapable of accurately reflecting the environment of the web.
They produce static designs that can’t be seen through the variable known as the web browser. And when you build the final website, some elements won’t look exactly like their draft counterparts, and the client will notice those minor differences in fonts, positioning, etc.

Sci-Fi Fonts – Fiction, which is Still Science

The genre of science fiction or just “sci-fi” is among the most popular trends in modern literature, cinematography, and… design. Today we want to share with our readers a collection of splendid free sci-fi fonts, which can be used in a diverse range of projects: from designing a web site to preparing a poster for a new sci-fi movie. If you like reading the works by Stanislaw Lem, George Orwell, or Isaac Asimov; if Neo or Optimus Prime are among your favorite movie characters – then you will definitely like the collection of our free sci-fi fonts. By the way, have you ever thought about the difference between sci-fi and fantasy? Actually, it is pretty simple – unlike fantasy, which depicts entirely imaginary worlds, sci-fi stories do have certain scientific backgrounds and their plots and scenarios described may be fairly possible somewhere in the future provided that the humanity will continue enhancing technological and scientific advancements, available today.

The World’s First Online Graphic Design Software Have Been Launched At Fatpaint.com

Danish/brasilian software developer Mersica Inc. has launched Fatpaint (fatpaint.com), the world’s first online graphic design software. With Fatpaint, anyone can create pages, images and illustrations, and have it displayed on custom printed products such as iPhone cases, t-shirts, sneakers and promotional products. The products can then be bought or sold by the user.

Fatpaint is integrated with Zazzle, a world leading custom printed products company, so that at the press of a button, the design created by the user is accurately displayed on products from within the graphics editor. The user can then share these images on Facebook so that their friends can comment their design, and buy or sell the products on Zazzle.

The idea behind Fatpaint is to make it easier for people to create graphic design and put it on custom printed products that they can buy or sell. Prior to Fatpaint, it was a difficult task to draw and paint your own graphics, and have it printed on products. After making the graphics on your favorite graphics application, you needed to manually send the files to the printing company. This process was tedious, and if you were not happy with the design, you had to go back and repeat the whole process again.

Fatpaint makes the process of designing, buying or selling custom products much easier because it comes with built-in tools for painting, drawing and printing on custom products. Besides that, it contains an impressive collection of graphical content, such as fonts, public domain images, clip arts and brushes. Furthermore, images can directly be added to the project by searching on Wikimedia, Picasa, Flickr, Bing, Yahoo and Google. The completed project can be saved on Fatpaint’s server or your own computer.

With Fatpaint, users can publish and sell custom designed products like t-shirts, mugs and mousepads on their own webshop. The online tool connects registered users with Zazzle so that the designed products are sent directly to the Zazzle market place. For those not interested in making their own design, the Fatpaint website has a gallery showcasing products designed by talented artists from all over the world. All products are for sale and can be customized.

Visit us at www.fatpaint.com and try to design your own iPhone case, t-shirt or mug. You’ll find some great graphic design tools, over 900 fonts, 5000 cliparts, 15000 images and tutorial videos showing the basic steps so you can have a cool design ready in a few minutes.
