Free Fonts

I was looking for some interesting handwriting fonts today. I was successful in my quest due to finding a nice little website called SimplytheBest Fonts. They have an unbelievable amount of FREE fonts available on their website. They are all nicely categorized and simple to find. I was able to go right to a great collection of handwriting fonts without any difficulty.

So, if you’re looking for a particular style of font for an upcoming project or if you just like to find a quirky new font, I’d recommend that you visit SimplytheBest Fonts.

Sweet Color Site for Web Designers

ColorCombos.com is a cool find! I ran across it this evening while looking for some interesting color combinations.

Here’s what they have to say about their own site:

“This site was built to help web developers quickly select and test color combinations. The heart of the site is the Combo Tester, which allows web developers to see how different color combinations work together on the screen. If you are looking for Color Combination ideas, check out the Combo Library. The library contains hundreds of color swatches, along with their color hex values.You can also use the website color grabbing tool or the search tool to get a quick start.”

Check it out…I think this site could be a useful tool. So far, my favorite combination listed is Color Combo 104. What’s your favorite?

RSS Icon Collections

Found these neat looking RSS icons today while looking for some icons that weren’t just run of the mill. In particular, I like the round ones of the first line the best. I don’t have a particular reason as to why I like them the best other than to say that round RSS buttons don’t seem to be used as much as other designs. I also like the gray colored ones.

Anyhow, check them all out. If you find one you like, grab it…it’s FREE! :)

Good Looking Floral Background

I like website backgrounds, specially the patterny ones. They take a lifeless website and bring them to life. It becomes a piece of art that is framed out with a nice background. Here is an example of a good looking floral pattern background I found. I like the colors and how it fades into black at the bottom. It really brings the attention to the top of the website.

Here is the actual background image.

Please, if any of you out there know of any other good background examples, send them my way so I can add them to our collection here.

Cool Handrawn Footer Design

I’m on a new mission to find interesting footer designs. I came across the site for MB Dragan today and liked it. I actually like the entire site’s design. Lots of hand drawn elements and great color combinations.

But, I like the footer because it ties into the them so well. It also “anchors” the site by creating “ground” or a “surface” so to speak. The header of the site is in outer space and the footer is on the ground. Very fitting and appropriate. Check it out and enjoy!
