Melany Lane Script Font (full family) – only $17!
They say artists pour their hearts into their work. Same with writers. Well in the case of the Melany Lane font, Yellow Design Studio’s done both.
A beautifully fun and quirky font, Melany Lane is a pure delight to use and read. It elicits a feel-good, homey type of emotion that’s just full of flourish. And because we’re in such a good mood, you can not only get a good deal on Melany Lane, we’re offering a huge discount on the entire font family.
You can get the entire Melany Lane Font Family (that’s 5 robust sets) for 65% off! Seriously, by now there is no reason for you not to be smiling.
Modern-Yet-Retro Thirsty Script Font Family – only $9!
You always hear about starving artists. But what about thirsty ones? Not so much.
That’s probably because Web designers (hey, they’re modern day artists) are in on a little secret. They already know about YellowDesignStudio’s Thirsty Script font family.
Retro.
Modern Sans Serif.
All with a shot of caffeine.
That’s Thirsty Script for ya, and it’s also 80% off for a limited time thanks to the cool cats at Mighty Deals!

The Top 5 Things I’ve Learned at Go Media
To borrow some wit from the great Groucho Marx: “Before I speak, I have something important to say.”
That something important is to announce I’m leaving Go Media after five remarkable years.
Although it’s a bittersweet moment, I know that the future of this company is bigger and brighter than any one person. Go Media has truly done some inspiring and meaningful things during my time here — but they’re only just getting started.
Because this is a farewell post in disguise, please forgive me while I reflect on some of my favorite moments at this amazing company.
