Font Development

 

For our magazine front cover and the poster we wanted the same font so that each piece of media would link together and be recognised as similar products for the film.

As we are creating the front cover and the poster on photoshop, it would be best to look through the different fonts on photoshop to see which ones could be potential fonts for our poster and magazine that will be suitable and also fit what we want for our font. We used the word 'Flashbacks' to test the fonts as it's our film title.  We also chose to do the font test with the font colour red as it will probably be the colour of our film title.  

 

 

 

We picked 8 fonts which we liked that would help connote the film noir style but also which would be readable and easy for the audience to see, read and be attractive on the eye.

 

We wanted our title to be big and bold yet simple also easy to read and give a bit of a noir feel.

 

 

1. We quite liked number one as it was big and bold, although it wasn't very easy to read and the letters were so big that it was very readable so it wouldn't be very good and wouldn't be very attractive to the audience.

 

2.It is again big,bold and is quite easy to read. I quite liked it although Ryan thought it was quite boring.

 

3. It is quite bold, but it's not very readable. I don't like this as I think it's quite boring and looks old, where as we want it to be a modern font to link with the modern noir style film.

 

4. We really liked this font. This could be our chosen one. It's simple but still bold and big and stands out really well, so it will be attractive and be easy on the eye. We also think that it gives a noir style. The colour red also works really well with this font and so this colour be our chosen one.

 

5. I quite liked this font, it was quite big and bold and gave a noir feel, atlhough Ryan didn't like it as much.

 

6. We think this font is quite boring and isn't bold enough or big enough. Also it's itallics which I didn't like as it didn't really fit with anything yet it is still very readable but not very attractive.

 

7.We didn't really like this font. It wasn't very noir style. It's quite boring and isn't bold also maybe we think it's a little too simple but it is quite readable.

 

8. This font is quite boring and isn't that bold, it's qutie easy to read but again don't really think it's fits with anything but could still be used.

 

 

The font which we have chosen to use is font number 4. We have decided on this one as it's simple but effective and gives that film noir feel, It's quite atttractive but at the same time it equals as being really readable and easy on the eye.
