Gorgeous free icon sets that you should be using
May
The amount of icon packs currently available for commercial use is vast, to say the least. Every now and then when you’re working on a design and want to find that perfect icon, you spend hours searching the web. Even if you stay focused and manage to find that icon, you’ve probably been sidetracked to such an extent that you don’t know where the icon goes or what you wanted it for in the first place (exaggeration…or not?). This happened to me a fair few times until I started collecting some icon sets I liked and used regularly. Those sets can be seen below, I hope you like them and if you do, don’t forget to pay your respects to the authors.
Smashing Slab Serif Typography
Feb
Typography has been around for Centuries if not Millennia. It has played a major role in communication and a world without type can be extremely hard to comprehend. Ever since the first letter was punched, typography has advanced significantly. There are now a number of different styles and fonts to choose from, that almost anyone can use on their website or magazine/book. The type of style I will be looking at today is Slab Serif. I have recently noticed a increase in popularity in this style so I thought I would collect a few of my favorite fonts and typefaces and share them with you today.
