<p><em>THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I CAN MANIPULATE FONT SIZE TO GET EXTRA ROOM</em>
(ok now that I’ve got that over with…)
I’ve looked around and didn’t see any mention of this question so here goes:
For my page 217, I wanted to use a font other than Times New Roman. Not to make it fit but because I feel using a “fun” font really fits the character I’m portraying. What do you think - definitely no? Maybe no? Maybe yes?
Thanks in advance!
(ps-I was thinking about using ‘Curlz MT,’ but it’s a little hard to read so maybe ‘Comic Sans MS’ or something like it, except something cursive-y for the title?)
(oh and pps- if anyone who has already applied/isn’t applying ever is interested in/willing to read it, let me know and I’ll pm it to you. I went kind of crazy and I feel like it’s a love it or hate it thing, just me being super-silly, having fun)</p>
<p>i would not use curlz mt (as a self-admitted “font snob” i think it’s a little bit 7th grade) but i think comic sans ms could be a good idea. for what it’s worth, i used arial… but i love arial lol</p>
<p>i hate comic sans…but i think that it would work for your case. : ) now that you mention it, i should have used courier new for a more typewriter look.</p>
<p>haha… yeah, that sounds cute, although if it’s hard to read, i wouldn’t use it. Comic sans ms would be good… i LOVE that font. hehe. and if you need some on to read it, just pm it over. :)</p>
<p>if you have them, the office 2007 fonts are nice (calibri, constantia)</p>
<p>I personally wouldn’t use anything other than a standard font (Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana, etc) unless creative writing is one of the themes in your application. And FWIW the last time I saw Comic Sans MS was in elementary school. But if you must use a creative font, don’t use anything curly or too childish.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. It’s about writing a kid’s book - if it was something serious I wouldn’t have considered it. I’m not sure what I’m going to do (I’ll have to decide soon!)</p>
