My favorite Google & Canva fonts
I have a font-buying addiction.I'm no stranger to Creative Market's font section. Getting to classify my impulse purchases as business expenses? Dangerous. Sometimes, though, it's nice to have a fallback that's completely free. If your brand does not have defined font styles and you're hoping to become a little more consistent, this might be a great place to start. Here are five of my favorite free typefaces, suggestions for how to use them, and a handy tip for getting your sizing just right. Plus—They're all available in both Google and Canva, so you're ready to start designing without having to download or import anything. Ok, are you ready for that trick I mentioned? Have you ever felt like your heading/subheading sizing was just... off? Try this easy trick to get it honed in: 1) Your subheading font height should be 1/3rd of your heading height. 2) Then, when you stack them atop each other, your subheading should be one subheading's-worth-distance from your heading. Like so: Bam! Perfectly proportioned for the human brain. Don't ask me why—it has to do with the golden ratio. That's all for now! Do you have a favorite free font? Let me know by replying! |

Once someone buys her $5 printable worksheet, they're highly likely to buy her $300 course, then some of them will buy her group and private consulting. The advice that piqued my interest? "Don't...

What do I mean when I say "Canva icon"? Well, it's like this: You can change the icon's color freely -- not just changing the shade of the image You can scale it up really large without losing image quality Have you noticed that when you use elements on Canva some of them follow these rules and some do not?...
Here's an idea to build off of YouTube views you're already getting: Do you know how many times I've heard the following from pastors I work with? "Yeah, we put my sermons on YouTube. People will visit church and say they've been watching for a couple weeks before they attend for the first time, so that's been good." So. many. times. This is amazing! What an awesome demonstration of how the internet can be used to remove barriers to an in-person connection (which is, of course, the ultimate...
