I love fonts. I love lettering. I always have. The clean, crisp lines of a sharp font. The smooth curves. The way the letters interact for a lovely partnership. How some fonts evoke a feeling...
Yesterday, I took a webinar (seminar transmitted over the web) on typography and Adobe Creative Suite 4. The three hour session was sponsored by AcademyX. The first two hours focused on Adobe InDesign and the remaining time was split between Illustrator and Photoshop. I learned some really neat tips, as well as some new keyboard shortcuts.

One tip to share for InDesign users: You can create a custom glyph palette to store your favorite bullets or special characters from different fonts. To do this, select Type> Glyphs. On the flyout menu, click New Glyph Set and name it. When you see a glyph that you want to add to your palette, right-click and select Add to Glyph Set. Neat, huh?
