    1:30 - Sans*
    Sans is french for without, but I assume you made the connection by now.

    This was so helpful! I'm currently trying to figure out what my personal branding should be as I'm a recent pharmacy grad (I kind of did a double take when you mentioned pharmacist while talking about Sans Serif fonts, haha!). I'm trying to make a creative resume to apply for healthcare advertising/marketing jobs and am not very experienced with graphic design, so your videos have been helpful! Really I've only used PowerPoint to design things like presentations and don't have any design/illustration programs, but time is of the essence right now 😅 Do you recommend a particular program for a beginner like myself to make something like a creative/polished resume?

    Will paterson, great video 😊 I'm currently trying to do a logo for my face painting and special effect make up business. It's called 'Scribbles and Screams' and I'm stuck on fonts because I want it to show both the face painting side (scribbles) and the FX make up side (screams). I don't think that scribbly font and something like horror font go together. How else can I get this across without using font?? I'm driving myself mad 😫 help!!!

    Surely Pandora is a version of Optima, no? Although it has the thick/thin strokes you’ve associated with serif fonts, it’s a sans.

    Bebas Neue is my favorite sans serif font. I highly recommend it for cooperate design.

    • @willpatersondesign
      @willpatersondesign  6 років тому

      +Jay I think so - more slab serif. Before I recorded the video I genuinely thought that the logo had serifs! Ha. It’s got serif qualities without the serifs. Ha ;)

    I haves logo and don't know what font was used. Online font ID programs do not have any success. (Unfortunately likely due to low quality image) It works on the website but isn't scalable upwards. Do you have any suggestions for how I can identify the font please?

  • @ChrisHanline
    @ChrisHanline 6 років тому

    What is your process for determining which font to use after you decide whether you want serif, sans serif, or script? Do you just throw stuff at the wall, or do you have a specific font in mind?

    • @willpatersondesign
      @willpatersondesign  6 років тому +1

      I just shop around - Mood board it and make a decision based on the functionality of it. :)

    The funny thing is that for example futura looks very modern, but was published in 1927. Same goes for many other sans serif typefaces, they are older than you might think.

    • @kacperdworak4250

    Will Can you please make another video based on the same topic in a more elaborate way. Like you took names of few san serif fonts. Kingly give suggestions on other types of fonts also. There are plenty and more the no is more the confusion comes in.
    So where to stop that yes this will be the perfect font for my logo.

    What would you recommend for a single musician trying to make a brand for himself?
    I already have the idea of RockB is forward, BsteR is backwards, with an "O" in the middle. But other than that, i have no clue about logos or fonts.

    I Have Been Wondering For A Long-Long Time About FONT Lisence. A Tons of Confusion!
    How Do I Get The Lisence I Needed???!
    For Logo
    Commercial Uses of The Font
    Online Uses
    Or Even Use it In My Apps
    There is Tons of Them, And Its Kinna Ridiculous That People Need to Pay Font Per Click in Their WebSite
    How About Commercial Use of Legacy Font Liike, Helvetica or Futura, For Example a Poster for Restaurant. or a Logo?.
    Or Even The Font Thats Included in The OS(Win/Mac), Should I Pay For Commercial Uses Of The Font?

  • @msmit1999
    @msmit1999 6 років тому +1

    for logo design you're probably wanna use slab serif and not normal serif. With slab serif the serifs are much thicker making them easier to see and grab the cleints attention.

      Mostafa Akbari 1... anything to the power of 0 is always 1. Because if you go through the powers... to get the one below you divide it by itself. E.g - 5^2=25. 5^1=5. 5^0=1. 5^-1=-5 understand
