Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice if you are ok with answering it, I absolutely love your tshirt designs and as someone who is trying to get into graphic design, my biggest problem isn't the art itself, it's the fonts. You use such perfect combinations of fonts along with your art, do you draw them by hand or download them from somewhere, do you experiment or do you know what you want right from the sketch phase? I get so lost with the amount of fonts the internet has to offer and how to combine them, I would love to know your process. Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words! I'll try to help if I can :)

I don't hand draw any of the fonts, I mainly rely on commercial-free ones, and my favorite place to source them right now is 1001 Fonts. I do minor edits to them sometimes to fit what I want or need, though (changing the thickness, shortening letter parts, adding curls, widening gaps, etc.)

I'm at the point where I generally know what I want it to look like at the sketch phase, but when I started out with these types of designs I would heavily research similar logos for inspiration and absorb what was frequently used or what the options for style were. I still do this often, actually, it really helps to learn the feel I want to go for.

When I'm in the final design phase I put the text in place and then cycle through the fonts I have, watching for anything that clicks. This part is mainly intuition and personal preference. I often end up with 5-10 different ones that could work and narrow it down further from there. Sometimes the fonts I have are close but not quite right, so I use 1001 Fonts and narrow the search filters to what I'm looking for (headline, vintage, script, handwritten, etc.)

In the end, my best advice would be to study typography. Research logos, study them, try to understand why they work, what types of fonts are used for certain things and how they affect the feeling of a design. If you have a theme in mind, try to look that up and see what's already been done, use it for inspiration.

Good luck!

Hi I hope it’s okay to ask, those discarded DE poster projects you posted, I’m so in love with everything about them. Is it alright to ask if the fonts used in them were custom fonts you made or pre existing ones?

The mirror and the silhouette posters are hand drawn. The one on the left (the orange and grayish blue one) is a pre existing font, although I modified it a bit. I’m pretty sure it’s one of these two, I used them interchangeably:

https://www.dafont.com/es/headliner-no-45.font?back=theme

https://www.dafont.com/es/awakenning.font

They’re the same I used on the church poster.

I usually take fonts from these sites whenever I need them:

They have both free to use and paid fonts, but if it's for personal use you should be able to use pretty much any font in there.

Hope this helps 👍

#I should clarify that the ones I used are for non-comercial use only #Which is fine cause I’m not planning to sell them (the church one I would only sell the version without the title)#ask #txt

Bookbinding for Beginners by a Beginner Part 3

*braces self on a door frame* Right there's a lot of information I still need to cover so lets get into it.

I don't recall if I told everyone to set up the document to be booklet type or not but here's how to do that (I'm not re-reading what I wrote my brain stopped working at some point)

But Layout Tab, Page Layout, hit the little arrow pointing towards the document:

I have the sheets per booklet set to 32, but this site is helpful for helping you get the exact number of signatures (a portion of the fic you are printing it is one section of the book, whereas a text block is the whole thing together)

That's if you want to print through the program you're type facing (the text within the pages all of the formatting and indents and everything we started covering in part 2 is type facing). I have totally done printing through the word processor but there is a different option that I will cover later down this post.

For now I'm going to try and remember all of the extra stuff I need to cover. A lot of this is trial an error and fiddling, farting, and sometimes sobbing your way through this.

OH! Right if the fic you're type facing has a fake email. Like.... I don't know "[email protected]" Word will sensor it automatically when you paste it onto the document. The only work around I have is to have the OG link to the fic you're working on, and try your best to locate the email copy it, and find it within the text of the document using the headers to skip to the chapter in question and scan for the brackets with [Email redacted] or some such, it's usually blue text with "[ ]" going on.

I can't truly think of anything else at this time pertaining to my tips and tricks for Word. There is more I may know but my mind is fizzling out I may circle back to this but I think I'll move on towards downloading and uploading fonts to use in your bookbinding adventures and some Canva stuff.

DaFont and 1001 Free Fonts work

Dafont:

1001:

I'll be using these two Fonts as my examples cause... well I actually quite like them.

Hit "Download"

This will pop up on your screen hit "OK"

Go to your Downloads or where you put your downloads,

Right click on the file in question and hit "Extract All"

Hit Extract.

Click on the folder post extraction. The file type you're looking for is "Open Type Font File" Right Click, "Install" or "Install for all Users" works as well and the font will be available to anyone that has a User key for the computer you're on.

Sometimes the file will look like this:

The Greyed out one? That's the type file.

There will be a pop up that says "Installing Font" give it a few seconds and it will disappear.

You will now be able to open up your word processor and go to the font section and be able to find your newly downloaded font

Enjoy your new found power in getting fancy pants fonts on your word documents!

Now... Canva...

You can download it for free like I said. I have it on my phone and on my computer as a software application:

So I don't accidentally doxx myself this is all you really need to see- you can do much much more than bookcovers, I've done bookmarks, and logos and a few other things.

but for our purposes we'll open up a document and make a few pages:

At the very tippy top that I did not show there's "create Design" I usually hit either "Bookcover" or "ebook cover".

There will be a document with some template examples and you can scroll and see if you like any of those. OR You can just go down to "Elements" and start playing and toying around with that.

You can also grab screen captures of decorative lines to replace the "***" on your document.

How to do this- in elements there should be a search bar type in "decorative lines" and you can refine it "Decorative Rainbow" "brush stroke" "ornate" then open up the application on your computer that allows for screen shots Snip and Sketch for Windows, I don't know for Mac. Sorry.

Select something you like and when it appears on the document click outside of it.

open up your screen grab and grab the line in question

Here's my example.

Now in your word document feel free to go into the Pages tab of the Navigation bar and find whatever the author has used to break up the text. Highlight, right click, hit "search" There will be a pop up on the right hand of word hit the tab that says "Search this document/file" you can see how many times "***" or the equivalent has been used. I would suggest opening this link and reading all of the other tips and tricks since they break it down better than I ever could.

Edit as of November 18th 2023: But the root gist of it all is to highlight the "***" or equivalent divider on the document. Right click, "Search" there will be a prompt that opens on the right hand side of Word hit the "In this Document" and it will bring up every instance of what you have highlighted.

Have the image you intend to replace "***" with right click "Copy". Back in Word, hit "Replace" there will be a box that pops up with "Replace with" Type: ^C . What this does is take the image you've just copied and will override the highlighted "***" Hit "Replace all". You may have to scrub through the document to center it properly but thankfully it's easier to find especially with the Navigation Bar on the "Pages" tab open.

End Edit

Though you can just scroll and find the breaks highlight and drag and drop the image to break up the text if you so choose. Do what works for you.

Now you can also do the same thing with decorative chapter headers, just choose or fiddle and make something that works for the fic in question. Remember when I made you do all of those "Next Page" breaks for the fic? Well on the top of that page with the chapter, double click the header insert an image and "warp image" to "Behind text" and you are free to resize and move the image around.

Just so you know whatever is next to the image will repeat with this example it's the author's name, it will appear no matter the page number odd or even. I don't know the work around and it doesn't bother me much at the end of the day. At this point I'm just trying to pull all of the tips and tricks I've learned over time out of my ass to help people out.

Back to Canva. You can make your Covers if you'd like in this and you can do decorative cover pages. Just go to the page that you want the title page on, insert an image, and warp image to "In front of text" You will be free to stretch and fill the page as much as you please. I do the same thing with my logo placement for the logo page.

Now... if you're still with me... Congratulations I'm not sure I'm still with me or not.

So I'll move on to the "OK I like how this all looks and I've saved everything I've done"

GREAT you can calculate the right number of signatures and print from here OR you can take a few extra steps.

Hit File, Export, hit Create PDF/XPS. I hope you have at least a free Acrobat or PDF reader. Wait. Don't panic if it looks like the processor is freezing up on you. there should be a pop up of a PDF after that minor heart attack.

Now. With your new PDF you're going to go to Bookbinder JS

Upload the pdf file you've created and I'll walk you through the steps.

Letter 612 x 792 is your standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

Printer type- Duplex I hope you have a duplex printer. You'll need it or else you will be manually flipping the pages to make this book bind.

Folio- That is just 8.5 x 11 paper folded in half to make 8.5 x 5.5 booklets. Keep these numbers in mind.

Signature format- there you can select "Perfect bound" AKA Paperback. Or Standard signature. Here I select 20 page signatures. Keep in mind that there will be four pages per one sheet of paper.

Preview output ALWAYS preview output because it will tell you how many signatures will be with the upload. For example:

What this means: Total pages of the file uploaded, since the fic I'm type facing is 300+k words I divided the chapters up.

so you know what a 100+k word fic looks like printed folded and the air compressed (I will cover this as well) Keep this in mind this was Celestial Navigation now add similarly stacked pages atop of what's here. 100+k fics it's wisest and best to split this in half. Keep in mind your wrists. 500-600 pages is comfortable holding. You can get to around 800 pages but if it's 900+ pages I would think about dividing the document up.

After you are happy with the number of everything. Hit "Generate Output" wait for the popup for the save file to appear and hit "Save" this will be in a zip file as well. Head over to your Downloads and hit extract, open up the file and some terminology that will help with this:

Aggregate book means "the whole damn thing" Signature 0 is the first signature.

To spare the wrath and protest of my printer- I print one signature at a time and fold it since I don't have to worry about getting the page numbers to line up.

Take however much time you please. Next post. Folding signatures, pressing signatures, stitching, gluing end bands and ribbons.

aka- welcome to the world little fic. We hope you enjoy your stay. You're going to be a real book soon.

If I wasn't running out of steam I would cover Quartos. But if you wanted to print a smaller fic know this- increase the text size through out the whole document, these things are SMALL. 4.5x5.5 all said and done. I would go to TikTok and Youtube and look up "Quarto Book bind" if you want to see the smallest, cutest most pain in your ass book you've ever wanted to try and make.

I've done those as experiments as well... they can be fun but my god I'm bad at mathing at times.

For my fellow artists, here’s a great website for getting free fonts. I know for sure that it works for Procreate (unzip the file before attempting to import) and Krita, but I haven’t tried other programs.

I recommend looking at the retro fonts, those are my favorites

#Font website my beloved #Beware getting an addiction to downloading new fonts though #Found a great pixel font for my Bmc art today

if this isnt weird to ask, im wondering where u make ur banners for ur smaus? bc im thinking of making my own but im stuck at the banner part💔

Hello! I use these apps to edit my banners and here's the reason why I use them on specific things:

Pixlr - I use it to crop the banners as I have a specific size that I follow and sometimes for color correction

Picsart - For extra designs like stickers but I rarely use it

Phonto - Where I add the text! You can find free fonts in DaFont, 1001 free font, and fontspace

Background eraser - Speaks for itself but I use this if I want to make a png or remove the background

VSCO - I only use this for filters and color correction as well

Canva - Same reason as Picsart but it has more variety for me mostly with the stickers

I hope that this helped you!! Good luck and have fun <3

#ooh who are you writing an smau for? 👀#anon ★#walkie talkie ☆

Your money is your money to do with as you wish - but do you *really* need to buy these fonts? Not saying this in a judgemental way but more in a are you sure they aren’t on 1001 Free Fonts or some other similar site kinda way

absolutely certain they're not. at least, the version of the fonts i want is not available for free. i've checked.

(one of them is a really neat handwritten that's all caps and if you buy it you get the lowercase version too. i found the all caps version on dafont, but i want the lowercase version too for things)
