Font research

We researched different fonts from dafont.com for out poster and magazine cover. Unfortunately for the magazine cover one our hand are a bit tied, because most real magazine covers have plain, simple san-serif fonts. We could try to make it fancier but should really try to keep it simple, at least we will use colours to highlight things and that will make it look more interesting. Although with the poster we have all freedom to play around with different fonts so here are some examples of the ones we like the most the only thing we need to be considering is that it’s legible and works from a distance.

We like this font but it is quite hard to read, and as we have got Graffiti as a background in on of our shots, it would seem to much and over the top.


This font is quirky, and with the white fill it looks effective and like it has been scratched into a surface.


These cracked fonts are effective, yet we think that the mood it creates shows anger.







Some of these fonts are a bit too fancy and strong so it would not really go with the mood we try to create and this is the reason why i think they would work well, it would create a huge and powerfull contrast. Some of them are more plain, we could use on the magazine cover.
