Combining Type Faces Effectively & Using Effective Web Design

I thought the article about combining fonts was very interesting.  I discovered combining fonts on my own while designing greeting cards.  Frequently I use a different initial cap, usually something very themed/stylized and match it with something compatible and more readable.  I have also had times when I have to match a font that doesn't include a numbers with a font set whose numbers look like they belong with the font I'm using.

I have read similar things about web design as the article written by Mr. Friedman. I think it is important for a creative person to realize they are not creating a piece of art -- they are creating a functional website with artistic elements.  As web designers we are communicators -- it is important to do that clearly and concisely and to make sites as appealing as possible without obscuring the message.
