Here's what was popular in the PHP community one year ago today:
Disney is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Whether it’s through their animated features, theme parks, Marvel movies, Star Wars films or their many video games, Disney is known to everyone around the globe. Their presence has had a viable and undeniable impact around the world, and mere mention brings feelings of joy to a lot of people.
Their impact is so powerful that they even influence the thriving world of design. One of the areas that they have affected is the typography culture.
Disney fonts are typographic font types that take inspiration from Disney and its many brands, products and merchandises. If you have noticed, there are always two distinct type sets when it comes to a Disney feature. First, there’s the classic Disney logo, with the thick letters, the large and unmistakable,’ followed by other letters that convey both fun and a certain kind of stylishness that’s not found in any other typeset. It’s one of the most recognizable font styles around.
Then, of course, there’s the title of the actual film or television show, letters that reflect the characters, story and overall look and feel of what it represents. Think about the opening credits of films like Tangled, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Hercules or The Little Mermaid. They all have their own individual fonts.
There are a lot of Disney fonts available. These free fonts can be used in Word, Powerpoint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Sketch, and any other editor you can think of. Here are several of the best free Disney fonts that every designer and typesetter should keep in their typographical toolbox:
The Mouse Memoir Disney font takes inspiration from the original character and cartoon that made Disney a household name: Mickey Mouse. At the same time, it draws inspiration from the other animated series of the 1950’s, from Steamboat Willie, Donald Duck, Goofy and even the Uncle Scrooge comic books.
Mouse Memoirs is characterized by its bold but whimsical design. This is ideal for light-hearted works, like picture books, illustration books or even invitations for a children’s party.

Mickey Ears is another Disney font that pays tribute to the world’s most famous and lovable mouse. This font is rather simple. Bold and wide letters that convey wonder are encased in a shell that resembles Mickey Mouse’s head and ears.
While this isn’t as versatile as the other fonts compiled in this collection, it will certainly be of good use when it comes to Disney-themed birthday parties.

Escape is a typeface that manages to be both menacing and cute. There’s something in the hard, rugged serifs that makes one think of Walt Disney’s Snow White’s run through the dark forest. If you’re looking for a dark, murky and frightening (yet still cartoonish), Escape is a pretty solid choice.
Maleficent is one of the first great villains of the Disney animated movies, and it’s only right that she gets her own Disney font. The Malefic font is elegant, thin but sharp and powerful as the character it takes its name from.
At the same time, its edges and points also resemble the horned helmet that the famed Maleficent wears on her head, adding something unique to the typeset. If you need to add a bit of spunk and femininity to your document, this is the font for you.

Rough & Tumble makes one think back of the wacky characters from Monsters Inc. Its playful sans-serif nature and thick personality makes it an ideal choice if you want to mimic the classic movie!

Looking for something futuristic and with echoes of the space age? Then Prototype is for you. This font was originally designed by the visual artists of Disney for the theme park in Epcot. At the same time, this was conceptualized and developed with the world-famous Tomorrowland ride in mind.
This typeset reminds you of the letters typically used on the computers found in science fiction movies and television shows, like Lost in Space, Star Trek and Quantum Leap. Strong, stocky and thick, Prototype conveys strength and an ultramodern sensibility that will certainly catch anyone’s attention. If you want to get noticed while looking forward-looking, this font is a good choice.

Feeling nostalgic for the old Mickey Mouse movies from the late 1920’s? If so, this throwback font is comical, tilted and full of character. Mix it up with some bright colors and characters to make the most of this timeless classic.
Waltograph is based on the original font of the Walt Disney logo, the design standard that started it all. This font has the wide and wild loops of its predecessor and the smooth curves that have made it stand different among the rest. This is perfect for documents and other assets that need a little bit of quirkiness and sophistication.

Want to do the title for a children’s book and have a Toy Story vibe on the cover? Look no further than RunTous from Typia Nesia. Childish, adventurous and full of bright vibes. If you play close attention to the angle on the ascenders descenders of the font structure, you’ll see just how peculiar and unique it is. If you’re looking for a Disney-like font, this one is as good as they come.
Who can ever forget the animated movie Cinderella? With its gripping plot, captivating characters and the style and aesthetic of the movie, it has secured a place in media history.
AL Cinderella gives tribute to this classic movie with this stylish and captivating font. The letters themselves exude elegance and sophistication, calling to mind the dress and tiara that the titular character wore when she went to the ball. Additionally, this includes the silhouette of Cinderella herself.

Looking for a catchy sans-serif font with character and a sci-fi vibe? Luckily for you Planet Love comes packed to the brim with characters and glyph destined to give you that Disney-like look.
Monster Inc. became a major hit in the early 2000’s and gave us an unforgettable story, interesting characters and a display of Disney’s proficiency with 3D animation and technology. It also gives us an unforgettable typeset.
Monsters AG takes inspiration from the corporate identity of Monsters Incorporated, the company that the protagonists work for in the movie. Bold and large, the letters, numbers, and symbols display strength and power, enough to make anyone look twice. However, it has a clever twist that makes it a bit light hearted, and that is found in the inclusion of eyes and monsters in some of the letters. Children and the child at heart will find something enjoyable with this font type.

Disney has also made some of the typical holidays their own. Christmas is one of them. They have integrated this season into their parks and their shows, which is why every December kids around the world look forward seeing what the company has in store for them.
Navidad takes inspiration from that tradition. While there’s nothing unique and striking about this font, it does have its merits. Its simplicity is perfect for a variety of things and the little notches and strokes in some of the letters remind you of old English signs that are typically found in renditions of holiday towns and old St. Nick’s workshops. This is ideal for Christmas cards, Christmas greetings, assets that give honor to the holiday or even yuletide related websites and blog posts.

101 Dalmatians is another beloved Disney classic featuring the cutest dogs ever. The fanfare and delight of the movie also has motivated designers to craft a font that features the adorable critters.
FL Firehouse Pup Font features one of the adorable puppies from the cartoon. What’s particularly ingenious about this font is that the letters are encased in the dog’s collars, showing everyone that with a little imagination, you can make a font unforgettable. This is perfect for pet-related assets, whether it’s an invitation to your puppy’s birthday, a sign for a vet or even raising awareness of pet safety.

If you’re searching for another futuristic Disney font, Space Age is for you. This space font is based on one of Disney’s most well-known rides and attractions in their parks: Mission Space.
Unlike Prototype, which we included above, this font mixes bold lines with smooth curves, creating a minimalist aesthetic that would go well with clean and white spaces. From a certain perspective, it reminds you of the typeset popularized and used by NASA and their many missions. If you want your asset to have a space and intergalactic appeal, this font is the best selection.

This classic and timeless looking font takes inspiration from another animated feature. This time, it’s The Princess and the Frog. This is a rather simple Disney font, but it does pack quite the appeal. Bold serif characters are made larger than life.
However, they are made to look like classic fonts, because of the familiar strokes and shapes of the latter. The designers also added a bit of flair in some of the edges, providing another stylishness to another font. Its simplicity and class makes this font appropriate and perfect for a variety of different mediums.

Tron was one of the cinematic masterpieces of its generation. It had an impact not only of its story, but because of its presentation, from its overall look, its style and how it depicted what can be achieved with the imagination and technology.
Tron Muestro Cine 1 Font pays homage to that film. Created by Franco Fernandez, this Disney font has three-dimensional appeal, with its elongated letters, thin lines and sleek presentation. With the way it’s developed, it also has hints of robotics and machinery. This is ideal for anyone who wants to add a three-dimensional appeal to the design they’re working on.

Thin, crooked lines make up this typeface, and curvatures and intricate edges add to the gothic and dark appeal of the letters. If you’re thinking of Halloween related materials, this font will instantly do the trick.

Following the Nightmare Before Christmas font earlier, here’s another font for those who want something gothic and a bit creepy. TheFrankenweenie font not only takes inspiration from the film, but it also models itself after the legendary creature from literature.

The post 15 Best Free Disney Fonts You Should Have in Your Collection appeared first on Speckyboy Design Magazine.
Let’s not dwell on 2020 very much. The fact that I didn’t make any predictions for the year (after doing so for 2019) should say it all. There were bad vibes in the air – you know? But that’s history now.
Besides, the future is always brimming with hope. If it weren’t, nobody would dare to preview the year ahead. Thus, I’m jumping back onto the bandwagon for 2021.
Consider this the definitive tongue-in-cheek look at how the new year will impact the web design community. I’m going to give you a rundown of the hottest future developments so that you can show up prepared for battle.
Are you ready to turn the page on 2020? I thought so! With that, here’s what you have to look forward to in the new year.
I know, Zoom is so 2020. After all, it’s how we conducted meetings throughout most of the year. You might wonder if we have seen enough of it already.
But I am nothing if not loyal. I don’t stop loving my favorite songs from years past (much to the chagrin of those around me), nor do I eschew trusted apps for something shinier. The fact is that Zoom worked pretty well and has served a genuine purpose.
So, how do they top their incredible 2020? By worming their way into the Internet of Things (IoT), of course.
You see, one of the big drawbacks of virtual meetings is that you need a computer, tablet or phone to participate. This can be highly-frustrating to clients and colleagues alike, as it allows us some time to ourselves.
No more excuses! Zoom meetings will soon be held on every smart device. Refrigerators, bathroom mirrors, washing machines – they’re all fair game. This ensures that none of us will miss a single second of the action.
Nothing like a worldwide pandemic to force businesses to change in a hurry. Dining in turned into takeout. In-store shopping became curbside pickup. Suddenly, everything we knew about everyday commerce was out the window.
This transition made websites more important than ever. As such, web designers spent a massive amount of time bolting on new functionality. Features like online ordering, inventory tracking and emergency communications were just a few of the tasks at hand.
Now, you may be thinking that these changes will be permanent. It’s the much talked about “new normal”, you say. But that’s not how this grumpy guru sees it.
Experience tells me that a client’s mind is always subject to change. This seems to be especially accurate in times when you rush to fulfill a highly-complicated request. You scramble to get code in place, fix bugs and get things working just the way your client wants it.
What inevitably comes next?
“Hey, could you put it back the way it was?” – that’s what.
One of my greatest pet peeves with WordPress plugins is the massive amount of notifications they generate. Most seem to be geared towards advertising and are of little actual value to the end user. And don’t get me started about the messages that show up every single time I log into a site – even after I dismiss them. It’s all too much.
2021 will be the year that WordPress corrals the chaos. They’ll achieve this by creating a separate notifications screen within the admin.
No longer will notifications rear their ugly heads anywhere and everywhere within the WordPress dashboard. Now, a single screen consisting of all possible notifications will be implemented. Easy, right?
Of course, this will undoubtedly frustrate the developer community. As a compromise, WordPress will make this new screen appear every time a user logs in.
And, to ensure that everyone reads it, users will be required to verify a legally-binding agreement at the bottom of the page. Oh, and they’ll also have to buy something from Jetpack – just for good measure.
What else is going to happen in 2021? Here are a few other predictions that simply must come true:
Whether or not any of the above predictions pan out, let’s hope 2021 is a great year. I wish you happiness, health and success!

Meet Simone, our latest and greatest WordPress release. Named for the legendary performer Nina Simone, who is known for tunes like “Feeling Good”, “Young, Gifted and Black”, and “Four Women”. Fire up a playlist with her best work and read on to discover what we have in store for you.
Welcome to WordPress 5.6
WordPress 5.6 brings you countless ways to set your ideas free and bring them to life. With a brand-new default theme as your canvas, it supports an ever-growing collection of blocks as your brushes. Paint with words. Pictures. Sound. Or rich embedded media.
Bring your stories to life with more tools that let you edit your layout with or without code. Single column blocks, designs using mixed widths and columns, full-width headers, and gradients in your cover block—make small changes or big statements with equal ease!
In some themes, preconfigured block patterns make setting up standard pages on your site a breeze. Let the power of patterns streamline your workflow and save you clicks. Plus, share these features with clients, editors, and more.
To help you add subtitles or captions to your videos, you can now upload them within your post or page. This makes it easier than ever to make your videos accessible for anyone who needs or prefers to use subtitles.
Twenty Twenty-One is a blank canvas for your ideas, and the block editor is the best brush. It is built for the block editor and packed with brand-new block patterns you can only get in the default themes. Try different layouts in a matter of seconds, and let the theme’s eye-catching, yet timeless design make your work shine.
What’s more, this default theme puts accessibility at the heart of your website. It conforms to the WordPress accessibility-ready guidelines and addresses several more specialized standards from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AAA. It will help you meet the highest level of international accessibility standards when you create accessible content and choose plugins which are accessible too!
Perfect for a new year, Twenty Twenty-One gives you a range of pre-selected color palettes in pastel, all of which conform to AAA standards for contrast. You can also choose your own background color for the theme, and the theme chooses accessibility-conscious text colors for you — automatically!
Need more flexibility than that? You can also choose your own color palette from the color picker.
For years, only developers have been able to update WordPress automatically. But now you have that option, right in your dashboard. If this is your first site, you have auto-updates ready to go, right now! Upgrading an existing site? No problem! Everything is the same as it was before.
Even if you’re not an expert, you can start letting others know about your site’s commitment to accessibility! The new feature plugin includes template copy for you to edit and publish, and it’s written to support different contexts and jurisdictions.
If you’ve not had the chance to play with block patterns yet, all default themes now feature a range of block patterns that let you master complex layouts with minimal effort. Customize the patterns to your liking with the copy, images, and colors that fit your story or brand.
Thanks to the API’s new Application Passwords authorization feature, third-party apps can connect to your site seamlessly and securely. This new REST API feature lets you see what apps are connecting to your site and control what they do.
5.6 marks the first steps toward WordPress Core support for PHP 8. Now is a great time to start planning how your WordPress products, services, and sites can support the latest PHP version. For more information about what to expect next, read the PHP 8 developer note.
Updates to jQuery in WordPress take place across three releases 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7. As we reach the mid-point of this process, run the update test plugin to check your sites for errors ahead of time.
If you find issues with the way your site looks ( e.g. a slider doesn’t work, a button is stuck — that sort of thing), install the jQuery Migrate plugin.
Read about the latest version of WordPress in this guide. It highlights developer notes for each change in the release.
“It’s a new day, it’s a new life for me….and I’m feeling good.”
The WordPress 5.6 release comes to you from an all-women release squad:
As always, this release reflects the hard work of 605 generous volunteer contributors. They collaborated on nearly 350 tickets on Trac and over 1,000 pull requests on GitHub.

Yext has released their Consumer Search Trend Predictions for 2020.
Yext has released its predictions for consumer search behavior during the holiday season.
Yext’s predictions indicate that “foot traffic” to certain brick and mortar stores will only be high for certain types of stores. They’re also predicting that clicks to call businesses are expected to surge. And, clicks to a businesses’ website will surge as well, since we tend to be choosing to shop online rather than in the store.
The Yext consumer search trend predictions combine Yext’s research of consumer search behavior over the past 8 months and during last year’s holiday season.
Their notable findings are:
