Hello

[Two-Toe Tom]

Hello,

I'm a graphic/web designer from Toronto. Started GD a couple of years ago and now I'm working for a non-profit organization. I'll be starting a bachelor of design program in September, so I'm pretty excited about that. So that's my story, what's yours? Looking forward to meeting you all! :D

[morea]

you probably won't make a lot of friends around here if you're going to use THAT font. :D

Welcome aboard, Tom. Be sure to take a look over the threads posted HERE (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=42), especially the links to frequently discussed topics and the new user faq.

And you might want to check out www.bancomicsans.com while you're at it. ;)

Welcome aboard Tom! I don't have a story. I just appeared one day out of nowhere.

[Two-Toe Tom]

haha, i feel sorry for comic sans cuz it always gets trashed. thanks for the links yo.

i consider "appearing one day out of nowhere" a story, so thanks for sharing!

[Craig B]

Welcome ...

Hmm. My story. let's see, back in aught 5 I was born to immigrant Welsh ravioli farmers in a small village north of Ogden. Now most people assume ravioli is a pasta ... and don't rightfully recognize it as being a root ... So, anyway, as i was saying ...

[mac.FINN]

Do you really only have two toes?
I'm living in Toronto too, but that's not where I'm from.

Comic sans might get a bad rapp, but rightfully so.

Welcome Tom! I'm cornfed! I'm glad you came in! It gives us an opportunity to educate one more person on use of the font! Slowly but surely we hope to reach everyone! Rome wasn't built in a day....

[Two-Toe Tom]

i always thought ravioli came from cans.

i have ten toes, so technically, i have two toes as well, nyar.

someone should do a serif font based on comic sans letterforms so i can have a font for my body text to match my comic sans headlines. muahahah! (jk)

[morea]

Nah, just use regular comic sans for body copy and use bold, fuscia comic sans for headlines. Doesn't that look nice?

[Two-Toe Tom]

hahaha, brilliant! i'd add a drop shadow to everything to make it really stand out.

[morea]

excellent. :D

Lens flare?

[Two-Toe Tom]

oh yes definitely! i use a template with a lens flare already added so i don't have to worry about forgetting it.

[morea]

hey, that must be a real time saver!

Hmm, your name is rather long. DO you prefer to go by Tom, 3T, TTT, or Toes? (Toes sounds more like a mobster name, lol.)

[Two-Toe Tom]

Tom is good with me :)

Ask and you shall receive. Click here (http://www.dafont.com/hvd-comic-serif.font?classt=alpha) Slightly NSFW.

[Two-Toe Tom]

haha, nice find. that's not nearly as tacky as i was imagining tho, i was thinking of just slapping on some thin rounded serifs to comic sans.

That would be appropriately heinous.

:D heh hehe :D

[budafist]

I don't feel sorry for comic sans. Some people don't like it, but there are many more that use it more often than not. Take my mother for example. Internal Auditor for a goverment agency. Uses comic sans liberallly. :rolleyes:

[Two-Toe Tom]

i use comic sans bold in lime green on my msn just to be annoying.
