What Is an SVG Font?

An SVG font is a new version of the OpenType format, with SVG standing for Scalable Vector Graphics. The SVG glyph format allows the characters to be displayed in multiple colors and different transparencies, and some may even be animated. These attributes are not supported by regular OTF and TTF formats.

OpenType SVG fonts are also known as color fonts. One difference between regular fonts and SVG fonts is the file size. The SVG font files are embedded with so much information that instead of dealing with kilobytes, it’s megabytes. 

SVG fonts are particularly useful when designing with brush-inspired fonts. You’ll notice watercolor effects contain semi-transparent areas. Here are a couple of examples of fonts with multiple transparent sections.

Querins SVG Brush Font

A perfect example of multiple transparencies is a font inspired by brush strokes. This SVG font example is created from an authentic brush, so it has that hand-crafted feel. The font is perfectly suited for editorial design, signage, and even logos. 

Cardus Brush SVG Font

Another SVG font example that contains multiple transparencies and lots of texture is Cardus Brush. This thick style is achieved by using hands to paint each SVG font glyph. This SVG font is bold and perfect if you’re looking to create some striking designs. 

The SVG font format also allows SVG font glyphs to contain multiple colors. This means that each character contains more than one color, for instance:

Futuristico SVG Color Font

This SVG font example contains gradients and multiple colors in a single SVG font glyph. Geometric and complex, this is suitable as a display font for any type of editorial design work. You can create a customized color by exploring Adobe Photoshop. 

Corn Fruit Loops SVG Color Font

In need of a food-themed SVG font? The Corn Fruit Loops font is the perfect concept for typographic food. If you’re wondering how to change the color in Photoshop to create a sort of a custom font in SVG, keep reading below. You can change the color of the fruit loops to any palette you’d like. 

How to Install SVG Fonts

If you’re wondering how to install SVG fonts, you can do so as you would a normal font. Most download files will be contained in a .zip, so proceed to unzip the folder. OpenType-SVG fonts have the same file extensions as normal fonts, .ttf and .otf. For Mac, double-click on either of these, and the Font Book will pop up. Click on Install Font and it’s ready to be used!

If you’re wondering how to install SVG fonts on Windows 10, for instance, you can do so through the Control Panel or any font manager of your choice. The fonts will be displayed the same way as the rest of the fonts, in solid black. 

SVG fonts are currently supported by iOS 12, macOS Mojave, and Windows 10. Currently, you can use these fonts from the following versions and above: Illustrator CC 22.0.0, Photoshop CC 18.0, and InDesign CC 13.0.1. The only web browsers supporting SVG fonts are Safari and iOS Safari. 

How to Use SVG Fonts in Photoshop

The font I’ll be using to show you how to use SVG fonts in Photoshop is Bluesky SVG Font and comes in shades of blue. This SVG font script has an amazing 3D look because of the shadows included in each SVG font glyph.

In Photoshop, select the Text Tool (T), create a text box on the page, and add your content. On the toolbar, select the SVG font of your choice. You’ll notice that the logo on the right side of the dropdown menu displays the OTF logo with a small SVG logo. 

To change the color of this particular font, head over to the Layers panel. Right-click on the text layer and select Blending Options. In the pop-up window, check the Color Overlay option and click on it to open the settings. Set the Blend Mode to Color, click on the color swatch, and choose the color of your choice. I’ll change the color to orange to make the SVG font bolder. Click OK. 

What about if you have a font with multiple colors? For this example of how to use SVG fonts in Photoshop, we’ll be using Color Paper Color Fonts. The designer wanted to make the SVG font appear as if it has multiple layers. The result is an amazing mix of multiple dimensions and colors. 

For fonts with multiple colors like Color Paper 3D, you have the option to use the method we described before. That method will allow you to coat the characters with shades of one color. 

If you’re looking to maintain the variety of colors that come with the font, head over to the Layers panel. Click on Create a New Fill or Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation. Press the Option key and click on the new layer to create a Clipping Mask. Head over to the Properties panel, where you can change the color by sliding the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness options. 

If you’re looking to get more specific, click on the Master dropdown menu and select each color. Tweak each one with the sliders underneath. 

How to Create Font Icons From SVG

Icon fonts are mainly used as web fonts because the icons are scalable CSS properties like different colors, and shadows can be applied. All of this can be done with a better speed performance as the icons load faster. The only disadvantage is due to the many different web browsers, meaning that smoothing of the icons is unreliable. There are plenty of free and paid tools online that can help you convert SVG files to font icons like IcoMoon and Fontello. 

To create the font icons, make sure you have the files saved as SVG from Photoshop or Illustrator. In IcoMoon, import the SVG files, select the icons you want to generate, and click on Generate Font. 

You’ll be able to rename each file, and you can proceed to download them. You’ll also be able to get the code to use on your website. You can also create a font file from SVG with this same method and have your own custom font in SVG.

If you are wondering how to convert SVG files to fonts, the process is exactly the same. Draw each character in vector or bitmap format, using Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. You can use the same applications as above or paid software like Glyphs, professional font editing software that lets you import SVG files to create each font character. Now you’re ready to make SVG fonts!

Post pobrano z: What Is a Mockup?

Always wondered what a „mockup” is but never managed to fully figure it out? Well, in today’s video, we’re going to break it down and see how easy it is to use one using Placeit’s Mockup Generator.

Follow along on our Envato Tuts+ YouTube Channel:

What Is a Mockup?

A mockup is a full-size model
of a design or device, used for product presentations or other purposes.

Think of it as a means of showing off what your
design will actually look like when it’s put out into the real world.

Depending on your skills and time, you can go through the
process of creating your own mockup using dedicated graphics software such as
Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, but sometimes you might be better off using more
basic tools like the Mockup Generators offered at Placeit.

What Is Placeit? 

What is Placeit, you might ask. Great question. Placeit is an affordable online design generator that makes premium professional branding, promotion and marketing tools accessible to everyone regardless of skill level. 

Benefits of Using Placeit

1. Easy to Use

What makes Placeit so incredible is that it provides design novices as well as those with more experience with high-quality designs, logos, videos and mockups that they can customise online and download in a matter of seconds.

This means that you can design all your branding and marketing materials directly from your browser, without needing complicated software or training. 

2. Unlimited Downloads

One of the great things about Placeit is that it’s designed to suit a range of budgets. If you regularly need mockups, logos, and various designs, you can sign up for a low monthly or yearly plan. This gives you access to unlimited downloads of any and all the digital assets available at Placeit. 

You heard that right. One low monthly/yearly fee = unlimited access to the best logos, mockups, designs and videos available on the internet today.  But that’s not all. 

3. Affordable

What if you’re on a budget and can only afford to buy one digital resource at a time? Rather than take advantage of that low monthly/yearly fee, you can create the resource you want and pay a small fee to download just that resource. How cool is that? 

How to Use Placeit to Generate Mockups the Easy Way

Now that you know what Placeit is, let’s show you how easy it is to use it. 

Placeit’s powerful platform offers you an incredibly diverse mockup library that you can use in
combination with its online generator to do all the work for you.

Step 1

Let’s say I’ve finished working on a weather app, and I
want to show the client what the home screen will look like on a real
device.

In a matter of seconds, I managed to find a great iPhone X mockup that I feel that would be a great fit for the project.

Step 2

All I have to do now is upload my design, either by using the
Upload Image button or by providing a link to it.

If I hover over the first option, it will let me know
what size the image needs to be in order to be a good fit.

As soon as I click on it, it will allow me to select my image, giving me the option of adjusting the position and size of my design.

Step 3

Once I’m ready, all I have to do is click on the crop button, which will quickly give me a preview of what the final image will look
like.

If I find that I need to make some quick adjustments, I
can easily do so by clicking again on the little crop button, which will bring up the
previous window.

Once I’m happy with the result, I can easily
download the image by simply clicking the Download button, which will charge me
a small fee for using the mockup.

As soon as I’ve downloaded
the image, I can open it up and then use it however I want to.

Step 4

What I love about Placeit is that it has a huge library of mockups, some of which give you the option of making colour adjustments on the
fly, like this T-shirt one.

As with the previous one, I’ll quickly go through the
process of uploading my image, and then if I take a close look at the top-right
corner of the page, I can see that I have an option called Shirt Color.

If I click on the little dropdown button, it will give me
the option of changing the T-shirt’s colour using either one of the predefined
values or a new one of my own.

Once I’m happy with the result, I’ll press the Download button and then quickly go
through the process of acquiring it.

15 Awesome Mockups You Can Find at Placeit

Now let’s take a look at a selection of cool mockups you can customise with just a few clicks.

2. Mockup of a Fierce Woman Wearing a Plus Size T-Shirt

Some projects work best with a person actually modelling the design. If that’s the case with your projects, then you’ll be spoiled for choice with the number of different age groups, genders and ethnicities you can select from at Placeit. This beautiful T-shirt mockup features a young woman in a cap-sleeved tee and denims, which would be a great choice for a clothing logo or a humorous or socio-political message.

If you are skilled with sophisticated software like Adobe Photoshop and want a bit more control over how you use your mockups, then you may be interested in both Envato Elements and GraphicRiver. 

Both offer high-quality mockups, but each service is a bit different from the other. 

Envato Elements offers thousands of terrific PSD mockups by talented designers, and you can download as many as you want, as often as you want, for one flat monthly fee. What’s more, that monthly fee also allows you to access thousands of premium digital assets like fonts, logos, graphic templates, mockups, photos, business card templates, and much more.

GraphicRiver is another service that offers thousands of premium PSD mockups for Photoshop users, but it is better for those who are on a budget and only want to buy one mockup at a time. 

So if you are proficient in Photoshop and you’re interested in purchasing just one mockup instead of experimenting with several, then Graphic River may be a better choice for you. You can download a single mockup for one-time use for a low fee.

Post pobrano z: What Is a Mockup?

Always wondered what a „mockup” is but never managed to fully figure it out? Well, in today’s video, we’re going to break it down and see how easy it is to use one using Placeit’s Mockup Generator.

Follow along on our Envato Tuts+ YouTube Channel:

What Is a Mockup?

A mockup is a full-size model
of a design or device, used for product presentations or other purposes.

Think of it as a means of showing off what your
design will actually look like when it’s put out into the real world.

Depending on your skills and time, you can go through the
process of creating your own mockup using dedicated graphics software such as
Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, but sometimes you might be better off using more
basic tools like the Mockup Generators offered at Placeit.

What Is Placeit? 

What is Placeit, you might ask. Great question. Placeit is an affordable online design generator that makes premium professional branding, promotion and marketing tools accessible to everyone regardless of skill level. 

Benefits of Using Placeit

1. Easy to Use

What makes Placeit so incredible is that it provides design novices as well as those with more experience with high-quality designs, logos, videos and mockups that they can customise online and download in a matter of seconds.

This means that you can design all your branding and marketing materials directly from your browser, without needing complicated software or training. 

2. Unlimited Downloads

One of the great things about Placeit is that it’s designed to suit a range of budgets. If you regularly need mockups, logos, and various designs, you can sign up for a low monthly or yearly plan. This gives you access to unlimited downloads of any and all the digital assets available at Placeit. 

You heard that right. One low monthly/yearly fee = unlimited access to the best logos, mockups, designs and videos available on the internet today.  But that’s not all. 

3. Affordable

What if you’re on a budget and can only afford to buy one digital resource at a time? Rather than take advantage of that low monthly/yearly fee, you can create the resource you want and pay a small fee to download just that resource. How cool is that? 

How to Use Placeit to Generate Mockups the Easy Way

Now that you know what Placeit is, let’s show you how easy it is to use it. 

Placeit’s powerful platform offers you an incredibly diverse mockup library that you can use in
combination with its online generator to do all the work for you.

Step 1

Let’s say I’ve finished working on a weather app, and I
want to show the client what the home screen will look like on a real
device.

In a matter of seconds, I managed to find a great iPhone X mockup that I feel that would be a great fit for the project.

Step 2

All I have to do now is upload my design, either by using the
Upload Image button or by providing a link to it.

If I hover over the first option, it will let me know
what size the image needs to be in order to be a good fit.

As soon as I click on it, it will allow me to select my image, giving me the option of adjusting the position and size of my design.

Step 3

Once I’m ready, all I have to do is click on the crop button, which will quickly give me a preview of what the final image will look
like.

If I find that I need to make some quick adjustments, I
can easily do so by clicking again on the little crop button, which will bring up the
previous window.

Once I’m happy with the result, I can easily
download the image by simply clicking the Download button, which will charge me
a small fee for using the mockup.

As soon as I’ve downloaded
the image, I can open it up and then use it however I want to.

Step 4

What I love about Placeit is that it has a huge library of mockups, some of which give you the option of making colour adjustments on the
fly, like this T-shirt one.

As with the previous one, I’ll quickly go through the
process of uploading my image, and then if I take a close look at the top-right
corner of the page, I can see that I have an option called Shirt Color.

If I click on the little dropdown button, it will give me
the option of changing the T-shirt’s colour using either one of the predefined
values or a new one of my own.

Once I’m happy with the result, I’ll press the Download button and then quickly go
through the process of acquiring it.
