Adding a drop-shadow to your text in Photoshop is a great way to highlight titles and make a cool text effect.
What if there’s a font that already has a shadow effect and you can use in any software? Well, that’s exactly what a shadow font is all about.
Shadow fonts are a special type of font that comes with a built-in shadow effect. Sometimes, this effect even gives a cool 3D-like look to the font as well.
In this collection, we are showing you some of the best fonts with shadow lettering that have various styles of designs and purposes. Have a look.
Every designer wants their designs to stand out and look different. Yet they keep using the same fonts in their projects. The only way to create unique designs is to think outside the box and leverage new trends. So what if you used a 3D font in your next design project?
3D fonts aren’t new but they are rarely used in print and digital designs. Let’s change that. To show you how amazing 3D fonts can be, we handpicked a list of the best 3D fonts you can download and use with your own projects.
Whether you’re working on a poster design, flyer, T-shirt design, or even a website header design, these 3D fonts will help you create titles and headings that stand out from the crowd.
VSCO is a popular photography app for both Android and iOS, known for stunning filters and effects. Today we’re featuring a selection of VSCO Lightroom presets, inspired by the VSCO app, to help you achieve similar results with greater power and flexibility.

The only difference is they are quite a bit easier to customize and change in more dramatic ways. Plus, you can apply these Lightroom presets to your photos with just one click!

Website accessibility and SEO go hand in hand. They basically share the same goal of creating a user-friendly, easy-to-navigate website that is accessible to a wider audience.

Thankfully, the awareness of the importance and many benefits of web accessibility is on the rise. Today, we want to shed some light on yet another benefit of optimizing a website for accessibility—SEO!
That’s right! Web accessibility helps improve websites for search engines in many different ways. Here’s how.

It takes a lot of testing and experimenting to find the perfect font for a design, but our tips for choosing and working with condensed and narrow fonts will help get you off to a great start!
Graphic designers have been using borders for as long as they have been designing things. And they’re a fun element to play with. We’re taking a look at eight border design concepts (most of them you can actually download as project starters), along with tips for usage and some examples that you can try in projects.
Sometimes a great border can help separate your design for other elements, such as around the perimeter of an ad. Other times, a border can serve as an element to help break up different parts of a design, or frame messaging or content.
While borders are most frequently thought about in terms of print design, they can be a valuable digital design tool as well. A good border defines a space so that users know where a design begins and ends. (Pretty simple, right?)

While every designer may have a different plan when it comes to building a website, they do have a common checklist. No matter how you try to avoid it, there are a few elements every website should (and usually does!) include.
