{ Font Squirrel }

Number nine on my Top Ten List for Designer Resources on the Web is Font Squirrel. Font Squirrel scours the Internet for free fonts that are high quality, designer friendly, commercial usable and make them easy for download. Font Squirrel is much different then other font downloading websites because they go thru all the fonts uploaded to them and only pick the very best. Font Squirrel even sorts the fonts into the right categories making it easier to pick a san serif font in a world of serifs. This a great resource for designers because it allows you to find fonts that could set your design apart from the pack.

Below I have shared the link to Font Squirrel, along with a photo from Font Squirrel to help you better understand what Font Squirrel has to offer.

This is the homepage to Font Squirrel, from here you have access to thousands of fonts to use for designs. The top page on the homepage changes daily to showcase a font that is on sale or 

a font that is popular on the site.

Happy Font Searching!!!

{Top Ten List for Designer Resources on the Web }

For a class assignment we had to create a top ten list of anything that could relate back to our blogs. Since this blog is about design I decided to share my top ten websites to use when it comes to finding design resources on the web. In the next couple of days I'll go more in depth on each of my top tens. I've linked each designer resource for easy access and to give you a chance to check them out yourself.For now here is my top ten list. Hope this can be just as helpful for you as it's to me.
