The Year of Plain Design

Posted by Author - Freetoolsntips on September 23rd, 2010

Before you jump all over me, let me elucidate that there is plenty of attractive design out there and bounty of designers working hard to bring appropriate, considerately designed brands to the loads. And then there is the self-ruled national committee’s new logo. I am amazed.

It is attractive much embodies all of the emotionless, “modern” design that is popping up in the most weird places from my morning coffee to several aisles of the neighborhood drug store. Is this in fact what we consider to be contemporary design? Does modern design indicate you have to slip all character out of the work? What are all the great illustrators, photographers, and typographers to do?

While we are on type, let me go out on a appendage and say that Helvetica Neue and other short serif fonts are practical but clichéd. There are thousands of elegant fonts out there, more than we as designers will always be able to use or experience. Look beyond the understandable, embrace words like kerning and leading, and before you think about lowercasing everything on your business card, think again.

Yes, there is something to be said for design that allows the shopper to make it their own and construe it for themselves, but brands have personalities just like people. Consumers buy and support brands for innumerable reasons they are a good value, they distinguish on shelf, they are ‘green’, but eventually brands that stand the test of time are those that create an exciting connection with people. And it’s attractive rough to be passionate about white bread. The exception of course being Wonder bread which makes an excellent grilled cheese sandwich, but I digress.

The PEC Review: Font Spring, the Typographical Cascade

Posted by Author - Freetoolsntips on August 31st, 2010

The very letters and words on a web page can help construct a brand and hold customers. Thanks to better browser support and several new services, the Internet is being packed with rich and diverse fonts even now.

For years, so-called web safe fonts sense the most common fonts supported by nearly all Internet users have outwardly held web page design captive. Not that these web safe fonts are bad. Rather, they are limited and sometimes, because of this lack of typographical diversity, they make it more difficult to distinguish a website or brand.

With the wide reception of embedded web fonts, the state of web fonts and typeface is changing. In fact, author and designer Jason Cranford Teague suggested in his blog last year that 2010 might be the year of web typography.

After over a decade of awful waiting, false starts, and interminable doldrums, it’s just possible that 2010 may be spring-time for Web Typography, Teague wrote in his blog last year. A perfect squall of new techniques coupled with new Web browser capabilities promise to elevate Web Typography from its current monotonous state into an actual artistic discipline.

How to get Started with Web Site Design

Posted by Free Tools N Tips on March 1st, 2010
If you desire to have your own web site on the Internet, but have no idea where to begin, this article will provide you with the exact information you’ll need to get started, including what you can expect to pay to get your site up and running. However, before beginning, I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself, and how I got started, so you’ll know who you’re dealing with.

When I started online back in 1997, I was completely inundated with the Internet and had absolutely no idea where to start. I knew that I desperately wanted my own Internet business.

I spent countless hours online researching and learning everything I could about the Internet. I went to web sites that I well-liked and looked at the source code so that I could see exactly how that site was made. Keep in mind, I used their source code for learning purposes only, which is completely acceptable.
