Don’t you ever have an urge to fix the kerning on a poster you see on the streets or yell at the designer who made it? I know I do!! Look no further… print out these stickers and stick away. Check out Design-Police.org for more.

Kerning is the spacing between each letter.
When you use fonts (especially free ones you download off the internet), sometimes the kerning is off and may look something like this:
B AD KER NING!
So you just have to adjust the spacing so they’re all equal. In Adobe programs, you can use the type window to adjust it for all the letters or ALT + back arrow / front arrow button to adjust it individually.

I want to get those and give them to Keith as well. We always look at posters and stuff and we’re like “BAD PHOTOSHOPPING, CRAPPY DEFAULT BRUSHES, NO ANTI ALIAS…etc” The list goes on. That is truly awesome.
