The most important element in a successful graphic design has something to do with the font type you use to spread the message and sometimes, when you need the right fonts you don't have it on your local system. AllMyFonts at your disposal on this case. With more than 128,000 free fonts in TTF format, AllMyFonts.com is one of the biggest resource you can find on the net.

AllMyFonts.com service started few months ago as a personal project to organize those 128,000 fonts, then the site gone online but but due to the high load, in a few days our shared hosting service deactivated it. The sites then has been removed and after few months of code optimization and catching it's online again on a big server that vouch an efficient and fluid service.

AllMyFonts bring you an excellent preview system where you can type any text for a given font to see how it looks. With the Browse and Preview Fonts, You can browse any fonts in their database and see the font with your own preview text before downloading it. Downloads are completely free without registration of any kind. AllMyFonts also offer a search engine to browse all the fonts.

NOTE: Please note that AllMyFonts is under development yet at this time and you may find fonts not classifieds into the categories and some fonts has not been tested yet. They are classifying in categories all those fonts. While they do this work you can browse all the fonts using the first option available in the categories menu called "All Fonts". Despite that details, I think that it perfectly fits to have a post here because its free nature and its graphic related service.

Mind Blowing Paper Art

arditasari89@gmail.com (Arditasari) — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:50:00 -0800

This is some sick-ass paper art created by Cheong-ah Hwang. The artist uses paper to make cool three-dimensional sculptures and likes to create art from paper because it is versatile and people use this material every day. Now I'm not sure if her work qualifies as papercraft or not (since I have no idea what papercraft is), but it does qualify as very freaking awesome and mind blowing. Hit the jump and be amazed.[more info, via].

Extravagant iPhone Case Artwork In Metal & Wood

arditasari89@gmail.com (Arditasari) — Sun, 9 Jan 2011 09:09:00 -0800

Beautiful. Yes. Another iPhone case based Exovault will clad your iPhone in Metal and wood. But these aren’t your typical American-designed, Chinese-made mass-produced cases. These are designed and made in Brooklyn, NY by people who are clearly committed to their craft. The care and craftsmanship that looks to have gone into the case above is certainly undeniable. They’re a bit pricey with prices running between $70 and $195, but they’re unlike anything else and seemed to be built to last.
The fragile iPhone 4 by itself should never be dropped, but once you wrap it in this "protective" case from Exovault you'll have two things to worry about. I mean, starting at anywhere between $70 and $195, these Brooklyn, NY-made cases better last. And with that caveat out of the way. [Exovault via Crunch Gear].

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th!

arditasari89@gmail.com (Arditasari) — Sat, 8 Jan 2011 14:07:00 -0800

I know this is a joke but honestly I think this is all truth said through jokes. When one comes and thinks of it in my opinion. Here the full articles about this issues:
PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.
“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.
“After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.”
Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.
“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”
Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.
“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”
However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.
“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”
Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.
But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.
“I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”
The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.
