I'm not a designer (I'm an short fiction author and publisher), but I find it extremely rude for other designers should cry about your choice of font. Screw them. It's not their work.

And I do agree with the others about the font (although I also think it's not Comic Sans -- Chalkboard, maybe?). Overall, though, I love how subtle this is, and love that it gets Portal into the decor without using orange and blue.Mediocre Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247343104691857746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-17376070485154753302012-01-14T13:26:54.670-05:002012-01-14T13:26:54.670-05:00I'm not even a designer and the first thing I ...I'm not even a designer and the first thing I noticed was comic sans.

We've decided that if it's a boy we're absolutely doing a space themed nursery. If it's a girl, it still might be space themed, but cuter space themed. I also like lily pads and frogs for a girl. Decisions!<br /><br />Anyway, if we do space I'll share photos. I promise :) Love the new art!

I was catching up on Reader and read this post for the first time after you added the update, and had to laugh because it was exactly what I was thinking about the font choice. It DOES fit in really well when you think about the context (children's textbook) but comic sans just makes me cringe. <br /><br />Have you tried century gothic? From what I can see of the original, it may be your best choice. It also looks to be bold and the spacing between characters seems to be further apart than normal. Just highlight your text in photoshop and alt + right arrow/left arrow to adjust the kerning. :)Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-54590779423136261802012-01-12T07:20:15.853-05:002012-01-12T07:20:15.853-05:00why do people hate comic sans so? it's my fav...why do people hate comic sans so? it's my favourite font. :-( so fun and quirky and just annoying enough to be naughty.MissRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037268961320809313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-71189748880348740642012-01-11T16:56:36.870-05:002012-01-11T16:56:36.870-05:00I love the idea!
