It's easy, but don't do it.

Don't over complicate the fonts. 😜 (I have to remind myself of this all the time.)
1. Keep it simple. But bold.
2. Use colors that make the text stand out from the background.
3. Use creative fonts minimally. (If at all.)
4. View the thumbnail small so you can check legibility. This applies to checking images too.
.
Do you have a chosen font list for your graphics?
.
Have fun!

👎 Don't ever do this...
.
Don't ever choose a font because you think it's pretty or cool. Choose a font that makes sense for its use. If it's pretty or cool then that's a bonus!
.
Font selection can be one of those fussy things that makes a very big difference in design.
.
That are about a catrillion-billion fonts out there and half of them are about the worst choices you could ever make. Especially when you only have about two seconds to get someone's attention and get them to click!
.
Keep it simple. Deviate only when necessary. And keep your branding in mind.
.
If you are simply unsure what to use and you are doing a thumbnail for your latest YouTube video...go bold and a single color.
.
🤓 Font pair examples coming soon. If you have questions about fonts for your marketing materials don't hesitate to ask. See you soon!

🔐 shh....keep it a secret.

All those passwords! Happy World Password Day. I know, I know, another weird but good "holiday." 🤣
.
Like you, I have a lot of places online where passwords are needed and there is no way I will remember them all. Heck, I don't remember any of them these days because they're too complicated and I change them annually (if not more). [But I keep them safe.]
.
🤐
I found a site where you could type in a password to see how long it would take to get hacked. It was surprising! I was happy to know that the passwords I use for my financial pages would take a long time to hack but others needed some attention. If you're interested in that URL let me know and I'll DM it to you! It's eye opening.
.
So on this weird but important calendar holiday I'd just like to ask you to make your passwords complicated, use multi-factor authentication (when they text or email you a code to confirm it's you), save them carefully (digital [ie. Lastpass] or written down), and change them once-a-year minimum.
🤫
.
👉 I've created a simple Password Keeper PDF for you to add to your digital planners or simply to print out and keep in a special place. I use this same system currently. You can find a link to it in my bio. 👈

How do YOU keep your passwords? What has or hasn't worked for you? Let us know in the comments so we can all learn from it.

Thank you! Take care,
