    Default Work Christmas Card

    Here is something I have been working on and getting feeedback from in another section of the forum. I guess this is the final product we will send out electronically to customers.

    Think your Flash Illustrations works and looks really nice. Find the font that you used quite difficult to read and had to really look to read what it said.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    I will probably have to fix the font just a bit. Thanks for the feedback.

    Great animation and design.

    As Peter said the font is a little difficult to read. Script fonts look best IMHO with very short (one, two, or three words) text.

    An Italic (calligraphically speaking) font may be easier to read and present a similar feel to the text.

    Thanks, I have to agree with you concerning the font. The company wants to stick with the current font, but I do prefer the one you suggested. It is much easier to read. Thanks for the response.

    Thumbs up Re: Work Christmas Card

    I like the font, is it Sloop Script Three by any chance?

    You need to do some kerning to close in the space between some of the letters like between the t and y of beautiful.

    But it is a very elegant script and has a light formality to it.
