Great Fonts for Free (everyone wins!)
When I was Co-President of the ALA Student Chapter at UCLA we created a lot of fliers and posters advertising events. Eventually I found that the fonts provided through different editing programs were too limited, and frankly most were either over-used or boring. Don't get me wrong, "boring" fonts like Times New Roman and Ariel are pleasant enough and great for readability, but for things like headers on websites and fliers, we need something that's a bit more unique and eye catching. One of my favorite websites for free and fun fonts is http://www.dafont.com/. It has some amazing and unique fonts that can give you website or flier that extra zing that makes it stand out from the sea of paper out there. The fonts are very readable too, as long as you don't try to use them for an entire paragraph!
