Fonts We're Feeling: Nov 2021

No, there isn’t a typo in the title of this post. I just forgot to add this to the blog weeks ago.

I’ve decided to create a monthly series where I share some of the fonts I’ve been loving. Hopefully you discover some new favourites along the way!

I'm Taking the Google UX Design Course!

It’s a been a while, so I thought I’d drop in with this bit of news that will explain why I haven’t been actively posting on here or Instagram:

I’m taking the Google UX Design course through Coursera!

It has been on my radar for at least a couple of years, but in true to me fashion, I finally took the plunge in July, signed up, and started this journey.

If you know me in real life and we’ve spoken in depth about my dream to leave retail and customer service jobs behind for good, then you know that this has been a long time coming. Like years in the making.

Why I Switched to Flodesk From MailChimp

Like many people, I’m subscribed to a lot of newsletters for personal and business reasons, and the designer in me isn’t just looking at what the email is telling me, but also how it’s designed and presented. I noticed that a lot of the emails I kept drooling over from other small business owners all had the same thing in common: they were made in Flodesk.

Why a Contract Has Been The Best Investment in My Side Hustle

Can we talk about something? Grab your beverage of choice and get cozy!

A lot of businesses have launched during the pandemic. (Mine is one of them, even though it seems kind of weird to call my small side hustle a business, but technically, it is.) I have enjoyed seeing people come up with so many ideas about what to sell, how to get started with little to no money, and educate others on tips, tricks, services, and tools that are helpful to small business owners.

#053 - Header Navigation

I’m recycling the header from the Press Page I created for #051 in this series.

I’ve talked about this before, but creating things can be exhausting at times. It’s almost like being on a hamster wheel of creating, tweaking, then putting it out for people to see, and feeling the need to immediately get the next thing started.

Favourite Creative Market Purchases: Vol 1

I’m sure if you’ve read through a few blog posts on here, you’ve probably figured out by now that my love and appreciation for Creative Market is real.

So real that they are my go-to website for fonts, mockups, illustrations, etc. I’m not kidding when I say go there first when I need design assets. The quality and variety from all of the creators and designers is top tier, the prices are affordable, and I love how there’s a wealth of information available on the blog.

My Go-To Fonts

Hello, my name is Tenisha, and I have shiny font syndrome.

This doesn’t mean that I literally like shiny fonts (okay, fine, the rose gold ones are pretty), but it means I have a tendency to buy fonts I swear I’ll use one day that would be absolutely perfect for various projects. As a result, I have a lot of fonts installed on my computer, and I have yet to use the majority of them.

Does that stop me from browsing Creative Market and buying $2 fonts that I technically don’t need right now, but probably will in the future? Nope.
