I took some time out last week to attend this webinar presented by Monotype and I'm glad I did. It's hard to envision how to get the most out of this new technology, but watching this video will certainly help. The first part explains why variable fonts are different (and better) than existing font families, and the second part shows some very creative examples of how to use variable fonts in all kinds of media.
We just finished the "Save the Date" HTML email, self-mailing postcard, and logo for the New Orleans Botanical Garden's Magic in the Moonlight event for 2020. Some of the elements in the email led me to compile a simple list of do's and don'ts for those of you that use Mailchimp, Constant Contact or some other HTML email editor.

We need for it to be the Stafford Tile location that is always open and always available for our customers."
Logos come in all shapes and sizes, but not all logo files are created equally. Many companies are in a rush to complete their logo as it's one of the first items needed when starting a business.

I've been in many situations where a developer purchases a domain name for a client, and shortly thereafter the parties split ways. The client then hires me, and now we have to go through the domain transfer process. Many times there's no friction from the jilted party, but sometimes it can be a mess.
