I love finding new fonts and I don’t mind paying for them because they could make or break a logo design or the style of a company’s branding. I have learned a lot about fonts since I teamed up with one of my graphic designers, Wendy Barratt, and I’ve also learned a lot about how to use fonts on websites since I established White Ochre Design Ltd. Here are some of my favourite fonts.

Coneria Script

Raspoutine Classic

I use Noteworthy font on two recent websites for clients who offer something completely different to each other. www.comcomcom.co.uk and www.comeandsingchoir.co.uk. And I also use Century Gothic on several logos/websites. www.liveit.com and www.clairenathan.com.

So, after years of being a PC user for web-based work, I have finally swallowed hard, bit the bullet, dug deep into my pockets…. and bought the new I Mac. I spent most of Friday getting it all set up and operational. So far so good. It is fast, efficient and easy. Most things are drag and drop. I can run and use all my design programs at once and have several different browsers open and file transfers etc and the machine STILL operates just as fast. It is so awesome I wanted to celebrate, but of course having spent all my money, I didn’t have any money left to celebrate with, so instead I worked. Yes, I worked with a silly grin on my face looking at my new 27 inch screen and whizzing away on numerous projects.

Let me just say, the Apple store is an amazing place. I spent two hours in there buying my product and learning how to set it up. My 3 year old was with me and sat and played on the Ipads in various places around the store. The customer service is excellent. They even tested out my external hard drive for me to make sure it would be compatible and showed me how to sync everything with my Ipad. And, there is no ‘checkout counter’. It’s so easy and efficient it’s like magic. Better than Disney… well not quite, but ALMOST.

I love my new I Mac for several reasons. It is beautiful and makes my office look very impressive. But most importantly, it means I can be even more efficient and create even more stunning designs and websites for my clients. I have entered a higher-level of design I think. I’m so pleased. If you thought I was good before, then watch out everyone!

Here are the latest designs from White Ochre Design.

Not Just For Hire is an online shop for weddings and events. From chair covers to tiaras to sweetie carts, this shop offers everything you need to buy or hire for your event. We worked closely with Sara and Amanda to provide an online shopping solution for both their purchase products and their hire products.

Changing Scenes garden designer Barry Chambers needed a website he could edit himself. White Ochre Design took his existing website, updated the design and re-built it in WordPress so that Barry could take control of the content on his website. After a tutorial at White Ochre Design, Barry can now update his projects gallery, news content and garden design course offerings.

We are busy working on some exciting new projects and forming some great new partnerships with other designers and developers. And, we are still on the look out for a junior web designer to join the White Ochre Design team. Please submit your CV by email to admin@whiteochre.com.
