The short answer is I am going to make a list.

Why I am making a list:

I am not an artistic person, nor am I a visual person, meaning my imagination has never produced an image - EVER.

I have to start with something in order to produce something, so I use templates, the Internet, and pages posted in galleries.

I used a bunch of Katie’s clusters on a series of pages, but none of the premade clusters with words were what I needed, so I went on the hunt for that modern, but graceful feeling font. I ended up going with Lucinda Handwriting, but was not happy because that font just does not have that graceful elegance like the one she used:




I used the above word art by Bethany as an example for the title I did on this page .

I just could not find a font with the curves I was looking for. I tried many combinations and liked none of them.

Therefore I am going to develop a time saving list of font combinations I like, and use that list until I either improve at selecting fonts on the fly, or get tired of it and make a new one.

So far I my list is pretty short:
1) Texas Hero and You Are Loved

Wish I would have thought of just adding a flourish to the H. I have a ton of them, and that would have been faster than searching through 600 fonts.

I will play with the suggestions from here later this week.

Thanks.
