When I was a (fake) graphic designer at MTV, we never once purchased a font. Well, I'm sure someone paid for our "official" URGE font face, but for the most part we'd always use free fonts. This surprised me, because I thought being at one of the largest corporations in the world -- and one of the most graphic design-heavy corporations -- would mean there would be some sort of central, networked font library that designers could access. Nope: things are the same everywhere -- disorganized and totally ineffecient. So the source I ended up going to most often for free fonts was dafont.com. Just thought I'd share in case you need something more creative than the default system font for a project. Anyone have other favorite freebie sources?
Disney+, Hulu, and Max Are Bundling Their Streaming Platforms
Everyone is coming together
May 09, 2024
The great consolidation of the industry continues as Warner Bros, in a bif to make money, will now attach Max to Disney and Hulu, creating another bundle that feels exactly like cable.
The combined content will allow purchasers to watch ABC, CNN, DC, Discovery, Disney, Food Network, FX, HBO, HGTV, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, Searchlight, and Warner Bros in ad-supported or ad-free plans.
The Disney and Hulu merger of last year helped both companies, with subscriptions rising. Adding Max will give more options of r adults on the platform, and allow them to have access to both Marvel and DC Superheroes on the platform. There's also the idea of live sports, which Hulu already had, and Max shows through a TNT partnership.
The move makes a ton of sense for Warner, who is trying to make as much cash as possible, as rumors swirl Zaslav could be selling the studio.
Time will tell where more consolidation goes, but as we've pointed out, this is basically cable again.
