Noisy Typer is a free piece of software which plays typewriter sounds as you type. It runs in the background and works with all applications ( email, web, word etc ). Key sounds include: letter keys, spacebar, backspace, carriage return and scroll up and down.

We like to think of Method and Craft as the DVD extras of design: the stories behind the work, who made it, how they did it, and the techniques people have developed throughout their professional career. We all use the same tools, but we use them differently. We strive to educate you on more efficient, creative, and engaging ways to create your design. This site will not only be valuable to creative veterans, but also educational to those new to the design field. It’s like looking over the shoulder of your favorite designer.

You’ll be able to learn through Articles, Interviews, Videos, and Notes. Articles focus on process and workflow. Interviews let designers discuss their approach & perspective in their own words. Videos show the designer at work, sharing application-specific techniques. Notes are short tips and resource links.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I find myself skimming through my font library every time I am about to design a new wordmark. And the fonts that I end up using are mostly the ones that are already activated/installed on the system.
