DESIGNING YOURSELF FOR NOW?...
HERE ARE SOME GOOD PLACES TO START
1) MOST BASIC OPTION
- Check your own platforms first (ie: squarespace/wix + canva)
** Just be mindful that everyone and their dog has access to these same fonts so if you are looking for your brand to stand out visually you may want to go a little deeper.
2) PINTEREST
- Search 'brand fonts', fonts', 'font pairings' , 'squarespace font pairings' (if using squarespace), and 'designer fonts'.
- Also search 'web design' and 'web design inspiration' to help visualize fonts in context.
3) MY FONTS
- Great source for designer fonts.
- Be mindful you have to pay for fonts from here and probably have a web developer code them on your website.
- Good source for just searching fonts/font categories and generating ideas...then
can find similar on your web/print platforms if you are not ready to invest $$ now 😉
4) CREATIVE MARKET
**Be aware that you may have to have a web developer code these into your site if using chosen 'creative market' font on your website. Some good fonts on here for special projects/campaigns etc.
