Creating a font pairing for the quote “You can do anything but not everything”: I used the “All caps with a script” technique. I used one simple font and one fancy one to balance the design out.

I think my best font pairing is the third one that says “You can do anything but not everything”. I like it because I think it is very simple and not too overwhelming.

Which assignment would you say is your Least Successful font pairing and why?

My least successful font pairing is my second one with the star background. I don’t like it that much because I don’t think the fonts worked very well together.
