This is it. I have finally found a quick and easy way to keep up with all my fonts!
Since the days when I moved away from comic sans as my "go to" font, I have accumulated a lot of awesome, sometimes decorative fonts that I {heart}. My problem has been that when I am creating a pack or working on a document, I don't have time to scroll through a ton of (sometimes small) fonts to choose one that works from the drop down menu. So what I usually do is just use a handful of my fonts, even though I have many more.
Not anymore! I have found a way to quickly look over my fonts to choose the PERFECT one!
The small version I printed two copies and laminated them, one is bound with a brad and one with a ring...just to see which works best. One is with my computer at school and one is next to my computer at home. When I am working, I flip through the booklet and choose the font that is "just right"!
Another idea is to print them out and place them in plastic sleeves in a notebook.
The cover you see in the picture is my first attempt, I used it in the "test" stage of my new font organizer.
It is also awesome for when you know what a font looks like, but can't remember its name, flip through the book and find it quick!
How to:
You may be thinking that it would take an eternity to do this. For me, it took about 30 minutes. I used Pages (or Word) and created a text box, then I looked at my scroll down menu of fonts, chose the first one and typed its name, then the next. I did NOT type the fonts that are standard or the plain, ugly ones that came with the computer, just my super cool ones =)
I chose an 18point font for each unless it came out too big or small, it ended up that I only had to adjust a few to either larger or smaller.
And for doodles? I copied and pasted the alphabet with each doodle and have
it saved as a document also!
Hope this helps! Maybe do it as a summer project?!
