Ooh, pretty! Graphic design

[Eric the .5b]

Futura is pleasing as a header font. Very clean, very retro book-cover vibe. Pity there's no proper web version, yet. (Field Notes cheats on their site by hoping people have the font installed.)

You should use Exocet instead.

I always thought that font looked a bit Stark.

When it comes to Exocet, I'm with Noah, here:




ETA: There's a sans serif version: http://www.virusfonts.com/fonts/patriot#characters

futura and franklin gothic are both beautiful fonts, though neither does as great in their heavier weights.

I use Franklin Gothic for my e-mails. I love it.

I envy you people not locked into corporate style manuals. I get Colibri. Why? Because brand identity, that's why.

there are worse things than calibri. better things too.

True dat. It's in that sweet spot where it's different enough to be somewhat distinctive but not so different anyone can get upset about it.

[JasonL]

We are a calibri shop as well.

[Eric the .5b]

Calibri is OK. I'm still fond of the old beginning-typography-geek typefaces - Helvetica, Futura, etc.

I'm trying to make a pretty bulletin cover for the reading where Jacob wrestles God. Apparently it's not possible to take a wrestling photo that doesn't look super duper gay. I am happy and sad at the same time.

I googled "Jesus wrestling" in order to find a clever picture to follow up your post, but there are just too many gems to pick only one...

I'm sure Stevo could Photoshop something that had God arm wrestling some biblical character.

Of course it is. You just have to dispense with the patriarchy propaganda that god is a man.

[Taktix®]

This guy's drinking, smoking cigatettes, booting heroin, doing coke, gambling, dabbling in the occult, plotting an invasion of Europe, and playing with firearms, all while fighting off a choke hold from the jeez...

All I got was a lot of Mexicans in masks...

He's a canon dude in the story, though. The Bible says Jacob wrestled with "a man" and all. If I erase God's preferred gender identity in this case, aren't I capitulating to the patriarchy after all?

[thoreau]

God brought forth all life. That suggests to me that God is female-bodied. But canon says that God's preferred gender identity is male. So it would be transphobic to gender God as female.

I can haz SJW points?

How's that? You can have gay god or babe god, take your pick.

This doesn’t offend me as an American; it offends me as a graphic designer. That is a rough-looking pile of clip art. But if the seven fonts and eight colors prove insufficient to scare away the jihadists, State also has a blog post outlining their strategy to defeat Islamist terror solve violent extremism...

[Warren]

So what you're saying is, the solution to violent extremism is extreme violetism?
