Digital Mockups

• Creative Market (Affordable) is a great resource for mockups and have reviews so you ‘ll know if there are any issues with the files.

Fonts

• Google Fonts (Free) is excellent for finding alternative typefaces for Body Text (i.e. typefaces that are not too unique or “crazy”.

• Font Squirrel (Free) has a collection of more unique and “crazy” Display typefaces that work for headers, etc.

  • Please keep in mind that the reason that these fonts are free is that they were (often) hastily designed and do not have the correct kerning tables (the automatic letter spacing will be bad) and will require you to manually fix it.

• Adobe Fonts (Free for Adobe subscribers) is a built in font library for all Adobe Users. Students should be able to sync the font files they use for Adobe projects on each computer they se that has a valid Adobe licenses (for many of you this will only be the school computer).

• Creative Market (Affordable) is a great resource (for a lot of design assets) that has unique, affordable typefaces that are design well and include correct kerning tables.

• Font Libraries (Expensive) are sites that include most of the historical and popular typefaces, as well as extensive typeface families.
