Hey, does anyone else know what's happened to DaFont? Is it just me, or can any other typographers upload?...

Erm... In other news, hurrah! Beluga is here. Download it soon, it won't be free for much longer.

I've been meaning to update my CSS in this journal with something a tad more fancy, so if anyone has any tips/tutorials that they know of concerning CSS, please comment.

...And that's it.

PS - Happy Easter or something.

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't been posting anything for ages. I have been hard at work with my new font (Beluga), and also studying for my GCSEs in June. Thanks to all that time with my brain working at full capacity, I have come up with a few new ideas to go with my "all new improved" me. Hopefully I'll start work on new stuff by the middle of this month.

---

I am also looking for any collaboration whatsoever. I am desperate for motivation. Anyone fancy anything? Just reply here or PM me.

Thanks, and bye.

Hey guys,

Just a quick update to notify everyone that the font will be up before the end of the week - and by the font, I mean Matt Serif. This font is already available totally for free over at DaFont, and soon it'll be up on here too!
The font of course is already completed, features every character you could dream of in every language, so it's all catered for. The preview image I finished today, and so it'll be up before you know it!

-----

I am also working on a brand new font, which currently is untitled. The font is very different to my previous one - much more stylish and designer. Each letter is very thick and chunky, and would be perfect for titles and illustration work. I've been wondering what to call it, and have decided that whoever comes up with the title that I choose for the font, wins:
-----
A FREE copy of the font - the font otherwise will only be available by purchase.

OR

A commission of your entire choosing - you choose the theme, idea, medium, style etc, and I'll do it. All for just a name.
-----
Up to you. You can either choose not to post on this journal and pass this up, or use 5 minutes of your time to post and possibly receive a free font or a free commission. Sounds good, doesn't it?

THE RULES

Before giving your answer, you must check by search engine, or whatever medium is best, to check that the name you have chosen is not already a font name.

The font name must have an element in it which shows that it is large or chunky. A simple example is "Big Bertha", or "Huge Script". These will no longer be eligible for entry.

And that's it!
The competition ends 14/02/07, so GET POSTING!

Well, it's a brand new year, and as such, a clean sheet. And I mean really clean - Vanish Oxy Ultra style cleanliness.


I've decided to start the new year with a fresh start in the design area - I think it's about time I get serious about producing quality graphics. I will still be creating Vector-Abstract images, I think, but with more effort on the drawing and illustration. I have a few brief ideas lined up which I will try to put into effect ASAP, and also, I would like to finally get around to completing my Flash portfolio.
Maybe I might even get around to CSSing this journal... If someone could give me a hand with that, it would be much appreciated.

So here is a concise list of things that I am doing and will be doing in the near future:

Collaborations - I am completely open to any and all collabs.

Portfolio - I'm going to start work on a layout and interface for my portfolio.

Muzart - A variety of illustrations inspired by my fave band, Muse.

Journal - CSS the journal

So please let me know if you want to collaborate with me, I'm itching for a design idea.

In other news, it was Christmas! I got some great stuff, including various Muse sheet musics, a subscription to Q Magazine, an electronic guitar tuner (very impressive, actually) and other such rubbish things. I also managed to dig out a converter for Mono2PC, so that I can plug my guitar/keyboard/bass/mic into the PC and record on Cubase or Reason. But not Audacity. Filthy bastards.

Well, much love and all that!

Matt
