I chose this website because it proved to be beneficial during projects such as my magazine layout. It’s actually really simple. You go on the website, chose the specific font you want, download it, and add it to your document. It’s really simple and brings more fonts to the table besides the 5 million already found in Suitcase. And it’s free! Hope you like! Click Here to visit the site!
For my logo redo, I listened to Professor Harper’s suggestions and kept the font and wordmark portion of my business card. I took the wordmark and incorporated it into my envelope and stationary. I then changed the colors a little bit and got rid of all of the borders on my original logo project. I also kept the baby-blue color (because it is my favorite) and Professor Harper liked it. My new logo project looks very similar to my resume with the color scheme and fonts.
The font that I used was Modern 20. And the colors I used were a pale blue and charcoal throughout the project.
This website has some great ideas to get you thinking about how to integrate your initials and name into your logos.

This is a cool site I stumbled upon. There’s a variety of different lines and curls, all of which came from letters. You fit them together any way you want. Could give you some ideas for your wordmarks! The “Q” is my word art.

I was thinking of having a wordmark of a JM in the right hand corner (like the lettering of a subway car). I think it might be a little too cheesy for all the jobs I apply for in NYC. Still playing around with ideas.
