Good free fonts can sometimes be hard to find, but if you look in the right places, you can find a gold mine. I tend to look at places like Lost Type Co-op, MyFonts, and Font Squirrel. Below you’ll see six of the free fonts that I have really enjoyed. Hope you like them too!

As far as the design goes, she already loved the Fleur de Lis symbol along with the simple elegance that it portrays. She wanted to mix it with something more organic to match her product though. We came up with the design that you see below. It will be used on product packaging and whatever else Sheila comes up with!

I’m very happy with the final results, and had a wonderful time working with Sheila. I wish her the best of luck in producing her products, and am glad that I had the chance to be a part of the process!

After I designed and produced the site, I hired my friend, and former classmate, Lem Canady to do the complex WordPress development on the site. He has done a fantastic job getting it made and setup, all while in school (kudos!). Throughout the process I made sure to choose features that would be easy for Old Mill to understand and update. All in all, I’m very happy with the results, and so are they!

I really love Old Mill’s slogan, “Everything Old is New Again,” and took it to heart when designing this site. They understand and embrace the trend that old items can be refreshed for a modern-vintage feel. You can see this from the type choices to the page layouts. I’m confident it will serve them well in the years to come.

The home page has a slideshow, information on the current coupon, and list of upcoming events.

Old Mill now has a clear and informative list of their major upcoming events, photo galleries to showcase them, and a calendar to see what’s ahead.

Old Mill specializes in Livestock, Pets and Garden feed and supplies. Each of these categories has its own pages on the site, for both products and resources.

The other areas of the site include an “About” page, and a “Contact” page. Both inform the viewer, and serve their purpose well.

I’ve had so much fun getting to know Jon and Christie throughout this process. They have been wonderful clients! I can really tell that they put a lot of care into their business, and I’m happy to say that I was a part of it. Check out the site, and let me know what you think!

Here’s a little about how I made it:

Last week I was looking for something to make for my husband for Valentine’s Day, and stumbled across this on Pinterest. Its a tutorial from the blog mimimoz on how to create a “Love Map”. I enjoy cutting, gluing and sanding picture frames as much as the next graphic designer, but I wanted to put a modern twist on this idea.

"Love Map" from mimimoz

I call mine the “Graphic Designers Version” of the shabby-chic tutorial (which can be seen above).

I chose to use the place we met, got engaged, and got married. I wanted to give the design an elegant, modern feel, so I simplified it until it reflected those qualities. After illustrating the heart shape, I took screen shots of our important places from Google Maps to put inside. I added some type below the hearts (the lovely Lavanderia, available free from Lost Type Co-Op), and printed my creation on my highest quality photo paper.

This design can easily be customized for any size or style. If you’d like one of your own, let me know! It makes a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Katie throughout the 2 month process of getting the site online! She’s very organized, and I can tell that she loves her work. Be sure to look for her at the upcoming Oregon Wedding Showcase in Salem, Oregon.

Below you will see a sampling from the website, enjoy!
