Holidays tend to sneak up on me before I know it. So the thing with a design for various holidays is that I'm almost always rushing to get it done and printed on time. Getting it done often means cutting corners on creative thinking, idea generation, and image search.
This is where the graphic designer's best-kept secret – glyphs – comes in handy. Whether you design for a client or tackling your child's school project, using glyphs could do wonders.
Glyphs are alternate graphic expressions of letters or characters (i.g.@%&.) They are often referred to as special characters, swashes, alternates, or letters with tails. They can also come in the form of images or ornaments.
One of the best things about glyphs is that you can easily access and use them with the basic apps on your computer and no design experience.
Creating a design in the terms of the use of text and illustration is an exercise in patience. Using glyphs is a simple way to save time if need be.
These glyphs will look amazing in a great number of holiday projects, from Christmas to Easter to Independence Day to Halloween and many more! When paired with the parent font, lovely extras can create a harmonious and pleasing design in a pinch.
