Coursework Fonts

For those of you busy doing print coursework tasks just a reminder of those Font sites:
Fontspace - My personal favourite. Very functional and easy to use.
Da Font - Again, functional with 1000's of fonts to choose from.
1001fonts
1001freefonts

For Font matching:
Identifont - match by name, similarity, picture or designer
What the Font - match by submitting an image of your font

TYPOGRAPHY: New Media Art and Online Tools

Tagxedo and Wordle are both examples of online Word Cloud generators. Tagxedo allows you to upload a picture from the web and input words which will be arranged in the image. Or use a pre-existing shape, like the heart above and enter a web address. The software takes words from that site and arranges them, like above taken from media-radar.
There is also a link to the best online tools for Fonts and Typography including a Font matcher, which allows you to upload a picture with a font on it and it will be matched to an exact or very close font type!
