FONTS: Simple=The Best
I've seen a lot of crazy fonts and all that. Base 02/05, Uptown, Destruccion radda radda, you get my point. Sure the distressed bashed up fonts can look good but I think a lot of amateur artists can overlook how well the standard everyday fonts can work. The stuff I use the most is Arial, usually set bold, Times with a ton of spacing between letters, Avenir and Helvetica. Usually spaced and all caps. After all it IS cruise control for cool. 3/4 of those I use on my brush pack demos and you can see how well they work even though they're common fonts. I guess this is just a bit of advice that sometimes the most effective fonts are the most basic ones. Try messing with the basics like I said, Times, Arial, Helvetica, Avenir, Veranda all look good and when in doubt CAPS LOCK IT.
With this bit of advice I'm going to bed, It's way too late/early for this to be healthy for me.
