YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!! I have so many questions for you!

1. How do you text? How do you text and complex at the same time? How do you text and complex and vibrant? I know you've written plenty about it but I was wondering if you have been using any different method lately. A font rec list would very much appreciated too. You use the most wonderful fonts, I've saved every single one you included in your tutorials but I'm greedy and I'd love to know if there are more because I suck at finding new ones and believe me I try real hard.

2. There's a lot of font combination and composition+text and textures+text and vibrant+text in your icons. I'm a flailing machine when it comes to your text, okay? I just like everything, you make icon candy, and I'd love to know more about your process because the results are fascinating.

Here are some examples for 1 and 2, just in case you were wondering what's going through my mind when I say icon candy and all that:








3. Finally, I'd like to know more about color combinations. Like when you use bright pink and blue at the same time, or yellow and purple.







Thanks in advance!

Don't worry! I wouldn't mind waiting an eternity for one of your text guides. They're the best and super useful. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply but Tumblr is taking all my attention and I just saw this yesterday D:
