whoa really nice touch with the examples at the end, having them sorted into categories I can see them being very functional and usable. (like if I was thinking of using text on a closeup but it wasn't working, I could just refer to those three for situation-specific inspiration)

To be honest, I wanted to do more than three examples, but we kind of got carried away with that aspect. It could have gone on forever if we hadn't put a limit on it. :D

But I'm glad that you find that aspect useful! Feedback is gold.

Whoa, very cool!! Definitely going through that list of tutorials later. Thanks for putting this together!

(P.S. it should be piaresquare. I'm shocked to see my icon up there! :D)

This is gold!! I've rarely used text or even text textures because it tends to ruin my icons. This guide however is making me want to experiment.

ex_absolute August 8 2011, 13:55:52 UTC

That's the general idea. :D

And, if you do decide to experiment, there's a handy dandy concrit meme where you can get feedback! It's our master plan, haha.

I'd love to see what you come up with regardless though!

Roadway is a lovely font! It's quite readable even in smaller sizes. :)

I don't have time to read this fully right now, but it looks fantastic. Thanks so much for putting together such a great guide. :)

Great guide. I also love the examples at the end and the list of font guides is great because of the scope of the differing techniques/explanations. mem'd quite of few of them for closer look later.
