As a designer, we know that selecting the
correct font will completely change the appearance of your brand. Some fonts
will make your business seem old while others will be modern. Majority of large
brands will change their logo, or font style to keep them looking fresh and up
to date with the latest trends.
It can seem like a daunting task, to find
that perfect font combination for your project, however, there are many useful
tools available that will offer font suggestions for you.
One such helpful tool was recently
created by Bold Web Design, an Adelaide, South Australia based company, who
understand the importance of selecting the correct fonts for your business.

1. Playfair Display
with Source Sans Pro
We simply love this style of font, with its traditional elements
is very elegant and perfect for a modern business. It was designed by Clau
Eggers Sorense, and gives a feeling of beauty and simplicity. It is a serif
font style and is best paired with a sans-serif font like Source Sans Pro. We
always recommend that you pair a serif with a sans-serif, this creates contrast
and a unique difference between the header font and the sub font.
2. Merriweather with
Oswald
The versatility of Merriweather, makes it one of the top fonts
for 2019. With its gentle serif, and easy to read design. It should be paired
with a font style that has straight thin lines, like Oswald.
3. Montserrat with
Merriweather
A modern, stylish font, Montserrat is a style you’d expect to
see in a big brand. It’s easy to read and can be adjusted both font weight and
height. It can be paired with a more detailed font like Merriweather.
4. Raleway with Lato
This font makes you think
of a modern, streamlined style. It has class and elegance all in one package,
and is a very soft font style. Perfectly paired with Lato, a thin and lighter
weight font, you are sure to create a buzz with this font combination.
5. Elsie with Roboto
A beautiful font, with very
gentle subtle swirls and interesting serifs. It’s the type of font you would
expect to see on a woman’s perfume brand. Such an elegant font, should be
paired with a sans-serif font, like Roboto, because it will not detract from
the seed font.
6. Dancing Script with Josefin Sans
An adorable script font that flows with every letter written on the
page. These types of fonts are becoming very popular, as they are stylish and
elegant. When using a script font, it’s best to pair with a simple font style
like Josefin Sans, with it’s very straight lines.
7. Abril Fatface with
Roboto
A very happy font style,
that really jumps out of the page. Its bold, ambitious, and gives a feeling of
confidence. It’s the kind of style you expect to see from a big brand. It needs

8. Corben with Nobile
With its unique rounded
serif, this font creates such interest. It can be used in a variety of
different font weights, which makes it versatile for many different design
options. It should be paired with a lighter weight sans-serif font like Nobile.
9. Spirax with Open
Sans
A soft, gentle font, that
portrays a level of mystery with it’s flowing letters. It was designed by
Branda Gallo, based on the geometry concept of a spirax, which is a line that
starts at a centre point and gradually moves away and around that point. Due to
this font being so unique, it should be paired with a very simple font like
Open Sans as it will not detract your eye away from the seed font.
10. Wendy One with Lato
A wow style font, that’s bold
and eye catching, who could walk past this! The unique flow of the letters make
it a very interesting font style. It should be paired with a light font like

Do you know that you can add dust texture for a shape that has gold gradient? Our client requested to add this dusty gold effect in a set of decorative element. So here’s how we do it:
Prepare the shape
Add any shape that you have. We quick draw a line and several dots using Paintbrush tool then Expand Appearance it to convert the line to shape.
Draw a shape
Add gold gradient
Open your swatch library: Open Swatch Library > Gradients > Metals. Here we use the minimal gold linear type gradient, after we altered a bit the default radial gold gradient effect in Adobe Illustrator.
Apply gold gradient to the shape
Apply texture effect
Go to Effect > Texture > Grain and then experiment with the settings
Dusty texture gold effect from ‘Grain’ texture
Then you will have ‘Grain’ texture applied on your gold shape. It’s fairly easy!
You can add this effect to the Graphic Style and save it in Graphic Style Library for future usage.
This dusty texture gold effect can also directly be applied to a line using Paintbrush or Pencil tool.

If you want to know of how to partially color a photo, you can check this Photoshop tutorial, from Envira Gallery Blog.
You just need to duplicate layers, adjust the saturation and color range on one of the layers where you want the object to be colored aside of the black and white color for the rest of the area in the photo.
Select-inverse the colored object and delete, so you will see the background layer in black and white (greyscale) mode.
The result of this effect can be playful and dramatic for the main colored object in a photo.
