Link: What The Font?!

Okay, so truth be told, I nearly forgot this tool existed until today. I had to create a new button for a website to add to the navigation, however, the original layered files could not be found. I am sure that anyone doing any sort of design work, big or small, has come across this little headache-inducing dilemma at some point. Well What The Font is the solution of champs. It’s not always perfect, but at least it helps when it can!

Tool: DropCard

You can send all of your info with your phone or e-mail, painlessly. It comes out looking nice and compact and clean, and the logo is harmless enough that you won’t feel like you’re sending spam.

The picture is what it looks like in the recipients e-mail when you send your information via the web application.

Tool: Evernote

I use Evernote because I can clip things from the web with the very effective bookmarklet, shoot it into my notes without even having to open them, and sync up with the sexy Mac desktop app they provide. I was so impressed with this service I bought a subscription, though I was far from needing it. Give it a shot. It’s far superior to post it notes stuck to your office walls.
