To finish off every year I enjoy taking a moment to look back at my content from the past 12 months to compare how all my articles, tutorials, freebies and videos performed in terms of view counts. This is my greatest hits collection for 2019, broken down into individual top 10 roundups for each category. Did you miss any of these most popular posts? Which one from the list was your favourite? Or was there a particular piece of content you found really useful that didn’t make the cut?
If you love the vintage design style you need to get your hands on this brilliant toolkit of fonts, textures, logo templates and graphics from Heritage Type Co. The Milkstore Collection contains everything you need to create vintage style logos, badges, labels, packaging or title designs with a hand-crafted vibe. The newly updated pack is currently on sale, and I’ve teamed up with Heritage Type Co. to offer Spoon Graphics readers an extra 10% off, making the final price $25 with a total discount of 35%. Use the code SPOONER-MILK-20 during checkout to secure the best price around!
Everyone is familiar with .com and .net, but did you know you can get your own free .design domain? As a designer myself, I think it’s pretty awesome that we can get a domain name that reflects what we do, .design. I have teamed up with Porkbun to offer all Spoon Graphics subscribers a free .design domain name. The first year is free, and yearly renewals will be less than $35 / year, instead of the $70 offered at some registrars.
You’ve just created the greatest logo humanity has ever seen. Your client loves it, but it’s still just one file. You’ve got to send your client zillions of files! There are different colour gamuts, logo variations and file types you need to save. It takes forever to make all the logo files you need one by one, but with Logo Package Express, you can format and export logo packages in seconds!
It’s that time of year when Spoon Graphics gets a little older, with 2019 marking 12 years of tutorial creating, freebie sharing and article writing on what started as a blog that was attached to my portfolio website in 2007. Every April I take some time to reflect on the past 12 months and talk about how things have changed. Last year I talked about how my traffic stats were on a slow decline since the site’s peak in 2012, so let’s take a look at the latest figures and talk about what the future might hold for Spoon Graphics.
Thinking of building your portfolio? Grab a .design domain name for your website and email address and get the first year free with this special offer from Porkbun. A .design domain name is just like .com and .net but it is much more relevant to what you do as a designer, making it ideal for building a memorable brand and showcasing your work. The .design domain name is fairly new, so there are still plenty of short .design names available. Claim your own .design domain name, before it’s gone!
