If you're a designer and are looking for ways to increase traffic to your online portfolio, consider submitting your site to online design galleries. Online design galleries let visitors vote for sites. The higher the rating, the better the chance of becoming a featured site -- which can land you on the front page of the gallery.

Here are five online galleries to which you can submit your site:

www.bestwebgallery.com
www.designmeltdown.com
www.mostinspired.com
www.dailyslurp.com
www.professionalontheweb.com

An online application called FontStruct created by FontShop gives you the basic drawing tools you need to create your own typeface. You can save, share and download your typographic creation. I walk you through the app in the videocast.
