Fonts Are My Friend

Practice makes perfect. Play around fonts, but be careful. Too many different fonts can make your design look cluttered. A good general rule of thumb is to stick to two styles - one in serif and the other in sans serif. Utilize bold, italics, sizes, and colors of the text to add dimension to the look.
There are literally thousands of free fonts online that can be downloaded to a mac or a pc easily. Do some research to find the one that is going to fit the piece. (ie, you don't want to use Times Roman if you're designing a logo for a Children's clothing store).
