Fonts/Sounds/Photos

I think it's nice to have a list of sites and information that may be useful with multiple programs, so I created this page to give us a place to put useful, but not easy to categorize sites and information. Some are already linked elsewhere, but just in case, here they are again:

  • 1001 fonts -  use with caution - make sure to follow any rules and embed the font if you are using it with InDesign or Acrobat.
  • Audacity - great, free software for recording and editing sound files. 
  • Creative Pro - Fonts - lots of great articles, etc. about fonts.
  • dafont - same as above.
  • Fonts2U - great site for free fonts. Lots of image fonts (dinosaurs, hieroglyphics, etc.) 
  • Font Squirrel - nice font site. Be sure to pay attention to any license requirements. 
  • Free Soundtrack Music - A royalty free music site that has some music that is completely free (you can search by free) and some that has a by credit (from $2.99 for one to $15.99 for $24). Worth looking at. 
  • Fonts.com - not free fonts, but easiest to use and best prices.
  • incompetech - royalty free music site (for background music). Be sure to follow any rules listed.
  • iStockphoto.com - remember, you can ask for a photo or image. I get 10 credits a day. Just search istock and find an image you want. Copy the url and send it to me. Often, I can get it for you the same day, but if not, within a few days. 
  • melody loops - royalty free music site. You do pay for the files, but only once and the cost is small. One file for $6.99, two for $11.98, five for $24.95 and ten for $39.90. Not too much to pay for legal, quality background music. 
  • Morguefile - free images (be sure to look for any requirements by the author for each photo). 
  • SimplytheBest Free Fonts - Nice collection of free fonts. Great place for holiday fonts.
