Find the font you like (hint, dafont.com has some AMAZING fonts) then transfer it either by printing, tracing, using transfer pens, or using a printable sticky fabric like Sulky makes. It dissolves under hot water, so cool :D.
The rough edged chalkboard-type font on the rough brick is somewhat hard to read. More contrast might help, recoloring the text to white would be a quick change. Dafont is an amazing resource. Cute pic!
Dafont has lots of free ones for personal use.
Creative Fabrica has some free ones as well.
Google can explain how to install on yoir computer and upload into design space if needed.

This site will let you choose from fonts on your computer to pixelize for cross stitching.
You can get new fonts from http://dafont.com You can also preview your text there.
Or if you already have an image it works decently well at pixelizing images for cross stitching with appropriate floss colors.
For those who have basic photoshop skills, here is the basic formula for Fiverr logos:
Find a logo template you like: http://www.freepik.com/free-vectors/logo-templates
Find a popular rated font here: http://dafont.com
Put the 2 together.

I really like the fact you're playing with your friends, it gives the whole video a really natural vibe to it and seems really chilled out regardless of what is on the screen; also, having different coloured subtitles depending on who's talking is great too.
The constant editing is a really nice touch and it'll help you stand out, but one thing I will say is picking a new font, as the one you're using seems rather standard, where if you use a website like DaFont you can pick a font specific to you and have it stand out more.
I'd also suggest something along the lines of Photoshop or GIMP which can help make outro templates and thumbnails to help you get standout; your editing already does that, but getting a thumbnail for new viewers can really help distinguish too.
All in all, just get some notches done to the presentation and then it's perfect :)
dafont.com claims to have 30,495 fonts - all of which are either "freeware, shareware, demo versions or public domain" so low tens of thousands is probably about right if you consider non-free fonts.
Use DaFont and look for your desired font, they have a huge variety of fonts. Once you install you have to close out of Illustrator and re-open it to get the font. As for the second question did you mean you wanted your letters to have the flag run inside the letter as color? or did you just want a flag as a background with the text on the flag?
You've got a good start so far.
Like others have said, fixing up grammar/phrasing ("were" to "we're", and maybe "under average" to "below average" or something less demeaning like "decent" or "pretty all right"), removing the "2-4 vids a week" (maybe make it more concise), and changing the font to a different colour (with the amount of colour in the background white or light grey would be a good start).
Personally, I would try to find a space/pixel-type font to match the theme of the channel art. It doesn't seem to match very well right now. daFont is a good place to start looking for fonts, but try to find ones that are royalty-free so as to avoid any legality issues.
Thank you! I'll try to help as best as I can. Okay. So, first, if you hover over the DINAJ, there should be three tinier icons that appear. Click on the gear icon and settings.txt should pop up. This houses your variables. Beneath the wind variables should be text. You should be able to type in the name of the fonts in their respective places (font1 would be the top portion's font, while font2 would be the bottom). Do note that these fonts must be in .ttf format. The two fonts I used were from http://dafont.com. For further clarification, I will add this picture which shows what I'm talking about (: Let me know if you have any further problems!
>And how did you split up the work?
He did the sketch and I did... well everything else. He also gave me some input and showed me when I was making mistakes.
>Rainbow's tail, mane, and feather texturing are really intriguing. I don't think I have seen anything like that before. How did you get that idea?
It's very loosely inspired by mysticalpha on deviantart.
>I like the contrast in texture styles between Rainbow and Twilight, too. Rainbow with a very sharp, rugged look, and twilight being more soft, and subdued.
That's actually thanks to viw. I did RD first and then Twiilght. My shading style changed between the two and I panicked at first, but when I showed it to viw he said basically the same thing as you just now.
>The curve of the interface also says a lot. RD's high energy sort of pressing out of her confined space, and twilight's receding in.
I didn't exactly think of it that way, but that does put into words the idea behind it I guess.
>I particularly like the font for "Twilight Sparkle." Is that a custom font? I don't recognize it.
I don't remember what font it is, I'll look in a minute. EDIT The font is EASY TROUBLE. Look on dafont.com.
>It doesn't seem like you are looking for critique. It's more of a celebration. Congrats!
I'll take critique, but the biggest errors I'm aware of and I'm not going to be changing this piece at all.

Special Notes
- The green swirl on the front of the bill is actually a security hologram but I couldn't figure out a good way to create a hologram effect in Photoshop in a way that would realistically convey that function.
- Serial number is ten digits always starting with the letter C. First set of 4 numeric digits (1000) would be considered one integer and would increase in an increment of 1 for each year that passes to indicate age of the bill and the following 5 digit set would indicate that bill's order in the print cycle. The particular bill displayed above is the 20,822^th bill printed in the first year of circulation.
- Using denominations of 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and 1, within the first year, the above serial number system would support an initial print of $1,068,589,314CAS; unless we get a bangin' exchange rate to the US dollar, we'd be kinda pooched since the bio-region's economy is estimated to be worth almost half a trillion USD. Serial number fail on my part. :(
This required a deceivingly enormous amount of effort and you guys would probably tire of seeing the same thing just recolored and imaged with different denominations so I won't be doing a whole set. Feel free to use my .PSD files as templates to create your own. At the very least, enjoy the novelty! If you live within the Cascadia bio-region, print some out, leave them in odd locations to help raise a grassroots awareness, make a political statement or... don't!
Regardless, enjoy!
What I like doing is go to DaFont click on calligraphy, then enter the name of the person to see how it would look and depending on how the letters look in each font I’ll choose which one I like and then I try to copy it. Once I know real calligraphy then I’ll be easier I suppose!
you don't need a drawing tablet to make GFX's. you can just download and use fonts from DaFont and just start learning some photo editing software.
just don't give up, get yourself a lot of tutorials and remember to start tinkering with the software.
good luck! :)
You maybe will have to download a typeface that matches the style of the text. Dafont is a good website, but there are plenty. For when trying styles that match, write the thing you are looking the font of so that you can compare more easily.
the thumbnail is good but the problem is the thing and behind the text wnd the text font try to download a BOLD font from dafont BOLD red/yellow/blue/green/gray text always catching attention

Photoshop, the fonts come from Dafont, and the paper-y texture is from Google. A gradient, some noise, and there you have it!
They come from "hic" actually, yes. Ecu/eca/eco are the forms for the singular definite article, masc./fem./neut. genders respectively. :) "Anqò" is from Latin "atque/adque," actually.
Your background is very nice and seeing as this is your first post, I'll try to be as constructive as possible. Basically, the only problems I personally have with this are the font choice and the location of the monstercat player. Remember though, this is all up to your personal preference and I would always encourage you to go with what you like best rather than what some dude on the internet told you. But personally, for your other skins, I would try a different font, maybe something more sleek and slim looking. Dafont.com is usually a good place to start looking. Other than that, the monstercat player in my opinion looks better at the bottom of the screen and not in the far corner but kinda up diagonally a bit. Also, I didnt mention this but you could try a bit of a lighter font color too. I personally don't think a dark font color goes with the lighter style of the background and it would make it more visible, but again, this is all up to you. I hope I gave you some useful info. :)
If you're deadset on connecting the g from "lounge" with the name of the bar you can easily change the letter a small bit in illustrator by erasing a small side and doing this(this was a less than a minute PS edit).
You can do it with any font ya like I think. Even though I'd rather suggest using a sans serif font to complement the serif on your main name.
Dafont has a number of different fonts that you can use IIRC, check it out for a second to browse for the many varieties you can use.
If ya feel like playing around with setting the "lounge bar" part on a different location like somewhere on the under right part of "bacardi" or something, just to see what you'll get out of it? Dunno try multiple things to see what you can come up with.
Or use some other colors and choose what part you want to be read first. Big, bold and beautiful is easier recognized and read than supple, thin and wonderful; which is harder to notice at a quick glance. And usually you don't want people to look forever at your logo to figure it out.
Dunno, in the end I ain't exactly a student of these things, they're just suggestions on what you can do if you want to.
In addition to what /u/dan958 said, you could look into Inkscape if you fancy making your own.
Also, a bit of advice: if you're downloading typefaces from somewhere like DaFont.com then make sure you have permission to use it commercially. The easiest way (on DaFont, at least) is to select a category, then click More Options above the typefaces, check the box that says Free and then hit Submit. Even then, check the licence after you've downloaded so you don't slip up.
In an economic climate like this, unfortunately competition becomes ever stiffer - as more people look for work, the pool from which employers can draw upon becomes richer, and they can ask for more experience.
My two-cents might be to start thinking outside the box with your covering letters. Invest some time coming up with a design and layout that makes an employer go "Hmm... interesting". I guarantee they'll have eye-strain from looking at page after page of Arial and Times New Roman. Find some awesome-yet-professional fonts from http://dafont.com. Print them out in colour. Break up paragraphs (try blocks of text side by side instead of the regular layout) Put a professional-looking passport-sized snapshot of yourself in the corner. That sort of thing. Think about how companies try and grab your attention with professionally designed flyers and newsletters.
The key point is that no amount of experience can guarantee traits like innovation or enthusiasm in a prospective employee.
