Some of you may remember that in a previous life, I was a graphic designer. (I still do some design — but that’s less than half of how I spend my working days.)
So a few weeks ago, I got another email newsletter — this one from MyFonts, featuring a typeface called Lady Rene. I saw their little slideshow and just wanted to create. That’s pretty rare.
Did I? Well — I’m producing this blog post. Actually creating something with Lady Rene would cost me $59. But I could emulate her.
Maybe later.
I love those MyFonts newsletters, they’re so creative and motivating. But my faves are the more unusual fonts that you don’t really use much, so they’re not very cost-effective. Once in awhile I pick one up, just for fun!
I agree — it’s just not cost-effective to buy fun fonts like this one. And those newsletters are very well designed. I rarely get the time to read them, but I usually at least scan them for the tasty eye candy.
