Font Craze! | Graphics Design

Part of the fun of graphics designing is playing around with different fonts. Your computer will not have the explosion of fonts that you need to be creative. It just won't. And Times New Romans won't get you much of anywhere.

Here is a list of the fonts that I have on my computer. And honestly, it's a really small list for a graphics designer. I'm getting there slowly.
A couple of things you want to watch for before cramming your computer with thousands of fonts. If you're designing things to sell, you need to be sure that you're getting commercial free fonts. This is why I have a list--so that when I need a font, I can look to make sure I'm using a free font (and not just grabbing one from my computer which may be intended for personal use only). Secondly, beware of where you're downloading them. You can get viruses on your computer by downloading anything from just anywhere online. I use fontspace.com. I'm not saying that you can't get viruses from them, but so far, I've not had a problem.

Here's a list of the fonts you see above if you want to copy and paste in the search option.
