The importance of logos to modern-day businesses cannot be emphasized enough. More and more content is being viewed on smartphones, and often the very first thing a customer knows about our business is what they understand from your logo. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your logo dimensions are appropriate and visually attractive […]

Looking to start your next digital project? Be it a website, app or other screen-based venture, there’s an abundance of high-quality and (best of all) free web fonts out there. Let’s take a look at some of the best options. You’ll find them all, and many more, at fonts.google.com.
For a wider range of options, take a look at our round-up of the greatest free web fonts.
01. Spectral
Spectral comes in seven weights for all your typographical moods
Commissioned by Google Fonts for use in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, but suitable for any project, Spectral is a versatile serif face created by Production Type in Paris that's available with seven weights of Roman and Italic, from Extra-Light through to Extra-Bold, with small caps included. Inspired by six centuries of French-type design, it's designed to look good on-screen, making even the most text-heavy pages easier to read.
02. Bubblegum Sans
For friendly type that really pops, give Bubblegum Sans a go
Relentlessly upbeat with friendly brushed glyphs, Bubblegum Sans is a big and bouncy font designed by Angel Koziupa of Sudtipos and produced by Ale Paul. It's something of a 21st century tribute to the sort of lettering you'd see in 1930s advertising, with, we reckon, just a hint of Dr Seuss madcap charm.
03. Anton
Step away from the Impact!
If you're after an eye-catching sans serif display font, it's terribly easy to go for the ubiquitous Impact, especially if you don't have Compacta Bold to hand, but if you want something a little more suitable for modern use then Vernon Adams' Anton is a smart pick. Anton has been reworked from traditional advertising sans serifs, then digitised and reshaped for use as a webfont, with the counters opened up and the stems optimised for use on-screen.
04. Rubik
Rubik features subtle, rounded corners
A sans-serif family with five weights – Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Black, all with italics – Rubik has subtle, rounded corners and is ideal for both body copy and headlines. It was designed by Philipp Hubert and Sebastian Fischer at Hubert and Fischer.
05. Monoton
Monoton is a contemporary take on metalpress fonts
A display font (recommended to be used above 30pt) much in the style of Alex Trochut, Monoton is a contemporary take on metalpress fonts, is another font designed by Vernon Adams. It's perfect for a quirky headline on your site – as the estimated 320,000 websites it has been used on proves. Pair it with a modern serif for a contemporary yet classic feel.
06. Karla
Karla comes in Regular and Bold, along with italics
Karla is a grotesque sans-serif typeface in Regular and Bold (along with italics) with some rather nice quirks – check out the subtle, curved descenders on the ‘q’ and ‘y’, for instance. Designed by Jonny Pinhorn, it's equally appealing at over 40pt right down to body copy sizes. It supports Latin and Tamil scripts.
07. Baloo
You can use Baloo in nine Indian scripts, if you so wish
According to its Google Fonts description, Baloo is "a perfect blend of pointy paws in a coat of fur". While we're not sure it's quite that animalistic, we think it's an intriguing rounded display face, that’s also available in nine Indian scripts along with a Latin counterpart. It's versatile and, well, rather beautiful.
08. Neuton
Neuton is a versatile, Dutch-style face
Neuton is hugely versatile Dutch-inspired face by designer Brian Zick. It's a little like Times in structure, with its large height, short extenders, and compact width and is perfect for body copy. It's available in Extra-Light, Light, Regular, Regular Italic, Bold and Extra Bold.
09. Alegreya SC
This all-caps face creates impact for headlines
If you’re looking for an all-caps typeface for a bit of impact in your headlines or supporting text, Alegreya SC may be just the ticket. Pair it with the rest of the Alegreya family for elegant consistency across your screen projects.
10. Lilita One
Use Lilita One at 40pt or over for maximum impact
A little bit condensed, a little bit rounded, and a little bit quirky in its rounded terminals and soft appearance, Lilita One is a fun display font for headlines and shorter text (perhaps navigational elements). It's best used at 40pt and above, we reckon.
11. EB Garamond
Worth checking out, even though it’s currently only available in Regular
EB Garamond is an open source revival of Claud Garamond’s classic typeface from the mid-16th century, and we can’t really explain it in any more detail. A sublime and elegant body font, even if it is only available in Regular at this point. It’s worth checking out Cormorant Garamond, as well.
12. Lora
Lora is ideal for large chunks of body text
Available in Regular, Regular Italic, Bold and Bold Italic, Lora is a serif font particularly suited to reams of body text. Google says "the overall typographic voice of Lora perfectly conveys the mood of a modern-day story, or an art essay". We particularly like the way the stem flows into the tittle on the lowercase ‘i’ in Regular Italic.

13. Space Mono
This sci-fi-style face comes in Regular and Bold versions
Geometric fuses with grotesque in this sci-fi-esque design. A fixed-width family in Regular and Bold (with italics – Regular Italic being our favourite, thanks to its wonderful descenders and serifs), Space Mono is one cool display face. As well as in headlines, use the Regular weight sparingly for short passages of text.
14. Kaushan Script
This calligraphic font purposefully avoids typographic perfection
The calligraphic, energetic Kaushan is a script font that deliberately avoids typographic perfection, with slight variation in angles between verticals in characters and uneven positioning along the baseline. For a script font it’s very readable, even at small sizes – but of course we’d only recommend it for headlines, used in moderation.
15. Julius Sans One
Try Julius Sans One for subtle headlines that still make an impact
There's more than a hint of Roman here, with a modern twist to some of the legs, making Julius Sans One a thin display font perfect for subtle, yet still impactful, headlines. Pair it with the likes of Lato Light, maybe, for a refined, low-key style.
16. Courgette
Use this medium-contrast italic-only font larger than 40pt
A brush script with flourishing impact, Courgette is a medium-contrast italic-only font. Yes, you’ll want to use it larger than 40pt, but it was designed so that the low stroke contrast can even work in body text (although we’d suggest you are cautious if you take that advice).
17. Wire One
This condensed sans is sharp and stylish
Wire One is so thin you’re not going to want to use it at anything below 12pt – and even that may be pushing legibility. It’s a lovely condensed sans, nonetheless, and its minuscule dot terminals are quite beautiful.
18. Cormorant
Cormorant was inspired by Claude Garamond
This is one behemoth of a free typeface. It comprises Roman, Italic, Infant, Infant Italic, Garamond, Garamond Italic, Upright Cursive, Small Caps, and Unicase; and five weights – Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. You could easily build a whole style around this Claude Garamond-inspired number.
19. Righteous
Righteous’ lowercase ‘e’ will divide opinion
There’s a touch of avant-garde in this display font, inspired by the capital letterforms from the deco posters of Hungarian artist Robert Berény for Modiano. While the lowercase ‘e’ may be a little sharp for some, it’s without doubt an arresting font when used at large point sizes.
20. Bungee Shade
Bungee celebrates urban signage
If you want ultimate impact with your headlines – and even a start for your graphic projects – Bungee Shade is a great shout. Bungee is a celebration of urban signage, and Shade is just one of five variants. Check out the regular Bungee for a less extravagant, yet still impactful display font (and Bungee Inline for a lovely reversal of Shade).
21. Amatic SC
Open source face Amatic SC has a hand-drawn aesthetic
‘Hand-drawn’ and ‘web fonts’ don’t often go together in the same sentence, but Amatic SC (small caps) is undoubtedly one of the better open source offerings out there. Use it sparingly in both headlines and shorter measures of text for a crafty feel.
22. Roboto
Roboto is used on over 16 million sites worldwide
Roboto is one of the most common open source web fonts out there (used on over 16,000,000 sites worldwide), and for good reason. It's a surprisingly rhythmic sans that can be used alongside Roboto Condensed and Roboto Slab for a consistent, contemporary style.
23. Arvo
Geometric slab Arvo works as well in print as it does on screen
A geometric slab, Arvo is equally at home in print as it is on screen – as long as you’re using it for headlines, that is. Arvo is hugely legible at any size over 30pt, and – particularly in the Bold weight – a font that will stop your viewers in their tracks.

Original Source: https://inspiredm.com/questions-to-ask-clients-before-starting-a-project/
Graphic design clients come in a wonderful variety, but every designer has their tales of horror to tell about the treatment they’ve received from some clients. Much of the time trouble originates from misunderstandings, so if the potential for this can be reduced from the start, it will help avoid the resultant problems.
Knowing what to ask is important, and then actually asking the necessary questions is even more important. In this article we’ll share the first part of that task, and it will be up to you to implement it when the time comes.
1. What is your budget for the project?
This is the most important question of all. Many clients have unrealistic expectations, and they may expect a fixed cost to cover everything they request. Asking this question up front lets the client know your costs may be not quite so fixed, and that they’ll need to adjust their expectations to suit their budget.
You will also be able to provide your client with better advice this way. When you know what the client can spend, you can begin calculating what options to suggest. For example, on-location photography is more expensive than stock photography, but gives much better results. You’ll be able to give advice that helps the client make the right decisions.
gif illustration by R A D I O
2. When do you need the project completed by?
Clients also may have unrealistic expectations about the creative process, not realizing it can take time to produce quality work, and expecting you to work like you’re on a production line.
Creative work is a process that normally takes time. We may have moments of intense inspiration which drive us to produce a masterpiece in record time, but normally there are many steps to complete: conceptualizing, research, drafting, editing, rendering, and so on.
If the client gives a tight deadline, get them to justify it. Sometimes clients just want the job done within a certain time frame, and there are times that they won’t really have a reason. Clients with a reason should get priority because they know what they want and why they want it.
3. Who is the intended audience for this work?
It’s very important not to waste your time going down the wrong path. You can’t make assumptions about who the client is attempting to appeal to. Also, having this knowledge, you can make suggestions that the client hadn’t thought of. This makes the client feel secure that they have chosen a professional who can help them make the right decisions.
illustration by Olia & Roma
4. What features in this work do you want to have emphasis?
Clients need to identify the image they want to project to their audience. If they don’t have a strong sense of identity and purpose, you’ll be wandering aimlessly with no reference point to begin from.
What may happen then is you’ll spend time designing something that the client may not necessarily like, and that happens because you’re not sharing a common vision.
The best designs happen when you and your client are in harmony about what the finished work should look like and what goals it should achieve.
5. What similar items appeal to you?
You may need to clarify this question. For example, if it is a website design project, you should ask the client which websites they like best and why they like those sites. If it is a logo design project, ask which logos of other companies are their favorites and why. And so on and so forth.
Asking this kind of question helps establish what the client finds appealing. That may not necessarily be what’s best for them, and you can advise them if you have knowledge that can help them make a better decision, but it also helps you avoid a situation where the client is not satisfied with what you produce.
When you know what the client already likes, you job becomes far easier, because you can design appropriately. Just make sure you get a decent number of favorites so you can find what the examples have in common.
6. What designs in this category are your least favorite?
This question is probably just as important, because it helps you recognize what things you’ll need to avoid. Nothing kills a project faster than not knowing what your client does not like to see in a design.
Again, you’ll need a decent handful of examples to get some idea of the common features that the client isn’t interested in. You can ask them why, of course, but the answers may be too vague to be really helpful.
What you’re trying to gain is insight into the client’s mind, and very few clients know themselves well enough to provide that insight directly. Seeing their likes and dislikes visually in front of you is far more useful in most cases.
gif by Tim Constantinov
7. Do you have an existing design or style?
One of the most surprising things is clients sometimes forget to mention they already have a design or style theme that they need you to comply with. The more you understand about the existing corporate culture of your client, the easier it is to design for them.
Sometimes clients just expect you to know about them. They’re sure you will have heard of their business before and that you’ll know all about it. So they don’t tell you the vital information you need to know in order to produce the best results for them.
Getting that information is your job. You can’t leave it up to the client to tell you, because they almost never will.
Wrapping up
Asking these essential questions before you get started on the project is going to help you avoid problems and will also help you do your job more efficiently and effectively.
Nobody likes wasting time on a project and then not getting paid for their efforts. As creatives, it can be especially rough on you when a client rejects your work, and that can affect your confidence as you go to start on the next project.
If you ask the right questions, you’ll know the right way to go about the task, and the result is better for everyone involved.

In today’s web design world we see waves of minimalist, modern designs that often stick to light colors, standard fonts and lots of space. However, many industries and brands require an alternative approach.
For example, a gaming website might have a better effect with dark tones and gothic-style text. Dark web design can represent class, ruggedness or mystery. You can even see it used when someone is trying to communicate a sense of power. Both masculine and feminine designs use dark and gothic elements. While one website might want to show the strong side of being a man, another might want to display the elegance of being a woman. That’s not always going to be the case, but it works when implemented properly.
It’s important for designers to avoid getting stuck in the rut of only developing the same, “modern” white websites and apps. Because eventually, you’ll run into a client who craves something more sinister, elegant or strong. In that case dark, gothic web design comes in handy.
Therefore, we put together some examples of this type of design. This way, you can reference back to these excellent designs when you’re looking for some inspiration.
Gjezarian
Here’s a great example of how darker designs often work for female-centric websites. Jewelry and clothing often make people feel richer or more elegant. Therefore, the darkness in a design like this mimics that of a classy, dark restaurant or club. It almost makes the user feel like they’re going to end up hanging out with celebrities if they buy the product.
Olly Moss
A gothic design doesn’t always mean that you have to make everything black. For instance, this portfolio-style website features a mainly white background. Combine that with the black font and logo and it lets off a feeling of robustness. Not only that, but the gallery pieces have their own gothic appearances.
Black Dog Films
Black Dog Films takes its name and uses it to its advantage. The majority of the website has a black header, with shadows placed on the majority of images. You’ll also notice that the logo appears to be rigidly drawn, presenting a rugged, yet powerful, appearance.
Immortal Night
It’s rather common to see a dark, gothic design on a video game website. It’s especially common when that video game relates to something mythical like vampires or zombies. Notice how the bright red colors create contrast with the black background. This is essential for using darker colors effectively.
Department Creatif
Here’s a website that merges the trend of retro typography and darkened themes. This is actually a very common way to create header images, where the background is dimmed quite a bit so the text placed on top of it can be viewed properly.
Tender to Art
A dark design doesn’t have to be complicated. This incubator of contemporary art sticks to the modern layout, with bold typography, minimal content and interesting animations as you click through the website.
Ever and Ever
One of the great things about this design is the contrast we see with the white human figures. It almost looks as if the figures are statues from a long time ago, going along with the gothic theme and drawing the eye to those individuals as it sits right on top of the darkness.
Nerisson
Working with darker designs means that you have the opportunity to create an ominous feeling with even more dark elements. The “Ever and Ever” example we saw above is the exact opposite of this one. Instead, we see minimal contrast, where the user has to almost squint to see what’s going on.
These are just a few examples of a darker, gothic web design style. We hope you’ve enjoyed them. And if you have any other examples you’d like to suggest, feel free to leave them in the comments below.

Creatives need to look creative online. Unfortunately, this often means a trade-off in the eCommerce department. You may be able to make a beautiful, visual website, but that awesome portfolio is nothing without the ability to sell your merchandise, prints, and other products. That’s where Ucraft comes into play. This Ucraft review will outline the stunning website templates provided by the page builder and walk you through some of the excellent selling tools you need in order to make money as a creative.
Overall, Ucraft is dedicated to building better websites in a faster manner. Therefore, it delivers a true drag and drop builder so that you don’t have to learn about coding or much website development. You’re able to craft stunning, professional websites for photography, web design, writing, and art. Sure, others can take advantage of the Ucraft tools, but the company has focused quite a bit on helping out creatives with its strong media support.
Ucraft Review: The Best Features
An Awesome Free Landing Page Creator
The landing page creator is free, and you’re able to make your one landing page within minutes. You start the design process by choosing from a template. After that, all the changes are automatically saved and published in Ucraft.
Designer Tools with Drag and Drop Functionality
The designer tools make sure that you can add a designer touch to your website even if you’re not that into design. From a full UIKit for advanced modifications, to simple tools for adjusting headings, colors, and sizes, the Ucraft design end is as simple as they come.
Strong eCommerce Support for Regular Businesses and Creatives
The eCommerce plan (outlined below,) is pretty much what most smaller and mid-sized businesses will need. However, you can also upgrade to get extremely advanced tools for selling your products.
In short, Ucraft has social eCommerce options for selling on places like Facebook and Amazon. You also receive product SEO features, over 70 payment and shipping solutions, and secure transactions. What’s more is that Ucraft takes nothing in terms of transaction fees.
I like the fact that you can integrate with dozens of apps and eCommerce platforms. For instance, you may want to sell on a place like eBay or connect your store to Zendesk. Both are possible, along with several other integrations.
As mentioned, the eCommerce plan is pretty powerful, with support for 50 products, unlimited storage, payment and order management, and multi-currency support.
However, you can upgrade to higher plans to get things like more products available, invoices, favorite lists, VAT support, tax exemptions, eBay selling, real-time tracking, and more.
A Free Logo Maker
The free logo maker from Ucraft is a huge advantage for small businesses and creatives. Logos of svg and png formats can be created. Not only does it have some interesting designs for you to start off with, but you can get creative yourself and brand your website the way you want. What’s great is that after you design your logo it goes on your website and you also receive a file to use it elsewhere for your business.
Insert the logo into all marketing materials, include it in your email newsletter, and print it on your business cards. This is a truly free logo maker, which is not always the case when you sign up for something like this. Sometimes you get forced to pay or you don’t get to remove the logo maker’s branding. That’s not the case with Ucraft.
Ucraft Review: The Pricing
You can pay for Ucraft on a monthly or yearly basis. The yearly plans save you extra money over the long run and you get a custom domain, but you still have the option to pay per month if you’re still not up for the commitment.
One of the best parts about Ucraft is that you can go with the free plan to gain access to some wonderful landing page tools and more. After that, you have to start paying, but the plans are less expensive than much of the competition, and you get that coveted eCommerce support.
Here are the pricing plans on a yearly subscription to see what you receive:
Landing Page – Free forever. You get one landing page, customizable content, the option to connect your own domain, an SEO app, the option to invite team members, customer support from Ucraft, and free hosting. The only downside is that you have to live with the Ucraft watermark on landing pages.
Website – $6 per month gets you a custom domain, one website (unlimited pages,) a drag and drop builder, the removal of the Ucraft watermark, 24/7 customer support, over 15 integrations, free hosting, an SEO app, unlimited articles, multilingual tools, and more.
eCommerce – This plan costs $13 per month and it provides everything from the previous plans, a custom domain, support for 50 products, no transaction fees, over 70 payment and shipping methods, multi-currency support, SEP for products, payment and order management, real-time tracking, unlimited storage.
As you can see, these pricing models are pretty impressive. Most website builders cost more than $6 per month, and you’ll be hardpressed to locate many eCommerce builders for less than $13 per month.
What’s cool is that several other plans are provided if you want to upgrade past that $13 per month eCommerce package. For instance, a Pro plan is sold for $31 per month and an Unlimited plan is set at $60 per month. In short, if you want to expand your eCommerce store and get the best tools possible, that’s when you would upgrade.
Finally, all Ucraft users get the following for free:
Templates
SEO tools
Designer tools
A logo maker
Articles
Who is Ucraft Best Suited For?
As I talked about a few times in this article, Ucraft makes the most sense for creatives and small businesses. It’s less expensive than so many other website and eCommerce builders on the market, and the company does a great job with its modern, beautiful templates.
The features are still robust enough for you to scale up in the future, and you get the bonuses of the free logo maker, SEO tools, and templates.
If you have any questions about this Ucraft review, let us know in the comments.
