Font Challenge!
Today and tomorrow, Heidi and I are bringing you something new, different, and totally fun! It’s a font challenge. Here’s how it works. Each of us has created a project for you, and we are going to show it to you using 3 different fonts. My project is a layout, so I am going to show you the same project using 3 different die cut fonts, and I want your feedback on what you liked and why. Hopefully, we can all learn something about how the look of different fonts changes the overall look of our project. I know I had fun playing with the different options!
**There is a chance to win at the bottom of this post!**
So, I first partially created a layout, until I got it to the point where I would normally add the lettering. Then I cut out my title using 3 different fonts, and Sprinkle cardstock.
Then I laid each title on my layout to see which one I liked best. I used several different placements too. By the way, this is hard for me to show you a partially completed layout!
This font (above) is called “Freestyle Script” and although at first it seemed appropriate, once I saw it on the layout it seems too light and insubstantial to work well.
This one, called FAFERS Handwriting Font, is better, and closer to what I was looking for. While I like the look of it, it feels a little too sporty for my artsy, graphic layout.
This one is Impact, an old standard. It doesn’t have the flair I usually prefer in my fonts, but it does stand out more then the others, is easily readable, and complements the graphic nature of this layout quite well.
Here is how I finished the layout:
So, what do you think? Would you have made a different choice? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think and why. I will send one random commenter a few handmade cardstock flowers! (leave your comments by Friday night at 11:59 EST to be eligible for the drawing).
Come back tomorrow to see Heidi play with a few fonts of her own.
