Not all fonts are of the same high quality. And neither are the free font sites out there. Some have a better selection. Others have great search features. Another might shine when it comes to organizing their fonts and making them easy to find and download. Is there a free font site that stands out in your mind as the best place to find free fonts? That's one of the categories of the 2010 About.com Reader's Choice Awards.
The best source might not be a site that specializes in fonts, but if they have an exceptional free font section we'd like to hear about them as well. Between now and January 24, nominate your choice for best source of free fonts. Be sure to tell us what makes it so special (don't forget to include an URL). In March we'll declare a winner but your site can't win if its not nominated. Read more...
Do you have a business card? Did you design it yourself or hire someone to design it to your specifications? We want to see what you've got and hear about the process you went through to come up with your card. Tell us what inspired your design or what software you used or what you might do differently next time around. Oh, and don't forget to include a picture or two as well. Show Off Your Business Card. And if you need inspiration or just want to see how others created their cards, browse our currently published reader submissions of business cards.
The back-and-forth continues over QuarkXPress vs. InDesign but now it's time to declare a winner -- at least as far as our readers are concerned. First, we need the nominations. And if you've been sitting back watching the Quark and Adobe users verbally slug it out while getting on with the business of design using some other software we want to hear about it. Is there another contender for the title of best desktop publishing software for graphic designers?
Nominate your favorite and state your case between now and January 24. Then the polling will begin. We'll declare a winner on March 1st and then we can discuss it further the rest of the year and see if anyone has changed their mind or switched their software. Read more...
