what i love wednesday linky party {No. 17}!!

i am LOVING fonts this week...

i turned the corner downtown the other day and did a double take.
oooo, look at that pretty font. what is it? i just have to know!
later that day as i was printing out a custom order of invites for a dear friend,
it looked like i was using the same font!
i had already been using it for quite a while now
-it was just the red color that threw me off... well until...

i LOVE how they chose to make the letters red.
i LOVE those summer dresses, btw. definitely looking forward to some warmer weather!

here's pica 10 pitch:

can't wait to see what you love this week!

how to make a printed font list

one of the coolest things i remember vividly was walking into a graphics design and print shop about 16 years ago. there was a piece of paper hanging on the wall with all the print shop's fonts, how they look typed and printed with the coordinating name.

at the tender age of 19 this was my mecca - paper as far as the eye could see and mac computers designing logos, business cards, signs and other printed materials.

but how to print out a list of your fonts from your computer not just their names but their style printed?

last week i scoured the internet and finally found it: font parade. download the free app, then print out your chosen fonts from your font book or all of your fonts! sorry pc peeps, this is a mac thang, though i'm sure there's a pc app out there too.

i chose to print out all of my fonts, stuck them to a clip board and ta-da!

today when i was designing a wedding card i wanted a sweet handwritten font i looked through my 40 page list - it was actually a lot faster than i thought it would be -about 1 minute! looking on the computer at all the fonts usually takes me 30 minutes to choose one!!! so this is a very valuable tool for me!

i hope you can take advantage.

what is one of your most valuable tools?
