Best of the Web #35

thumbWelcome back after the weekend everyone (unless you’re in America, where you might be enjoying a long weekend due to Labor Day, in which case, enjoy your day off).  Lucky for you, however, I’m not taking the day off, so that means it’s time for Best of the Web #35, a weekly roundup of cool stuff from the internet that you should check out.

This past week had several really awesome CG inspirational roundups, with a lot of pretty epic and interesting images.  Of course, there were some new tutorials as well, and some other inspirational roundups that you’ll enjoy.

I hope everyone has a great start to their week, wherever you may be, and as always, stay tuned this week for some more awesome inspirational posts and some useful design resources.  Don’t miss out, and subscribe if you haven’t already.

Best of the Web #33

thumbWelcome back, hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  University resumed today for me, which is always exciting but also frustrating at the same time.  But with any change comes some new inspiration, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this week’s posts.

Since it’s Monday, we have another edition of Best of the Web.  This past week had some cool roundups of awesome images and CG portraits, as well as a really cool historical look at the evolution of Pixar.  Also, there’s a neat 3D application called Vizerra, which allows you to virtually tour a bunch of historic sites.  It’s pretty cool.  And as always, there’s some great tutorials.  So I hope you all enjoy it, and stay tuned this week for some more awesome posts.

Have a great start to your week.

26 Must-Have Free Fonts

thumbFonts are one of the essential parts of graphic design.  The font that accompanies a graphic or web design helps define the feel and compliment the design.

There are a plethora of free fonts available on the internet, but many of them are lackluster or completely impractical.  Today, we have 26 must-have fonts that are free to download and use in your personal designs.  Make sure to read the license agreement for each font, as some are for personal use only, while others are free to use in commercial work.

If you found this post helpful, please help me out by submitting it to your favorite social network.  Thanks everyone and have a great week!  Don’t forget to subscribe.
