Font Types for our Poster and Magazine Cover

Here I have made some prototypes of what we could possibly use for our font for our film poster

of magazine cover.

below I have chosen a deep red that symbolizes blood, hate, revenge, anger and many other negative emotions associated with the horror theme. It is also a blood colour and so will attract in the attention of the audience. I have chosen a bold font that will stand out against a background and is very easy to read. I have placed the review bit inside the 'H' which has been made larger that the rest of the font, in order to hold to the word review and still be easy to read. I do like this font and the way it is fitted together.

I really like this second idea that I have come up with. It is in a more stylistic font which I think helps build continuity and recognizability such as the 'Empire' title. The bolder and lighter red colour again has the same connotations of blood perfect for the title but the colour makes it stand out even more to the audience. I have placed the review part at the end of the word and so it makes sense when you read it. I have rotated it to make the title seem a whole rather than two words and I feel this makes it look very professional. The bold outline really accentuates the boldness of the title. This would also be good for our poster cover as well.

This third idea is a much simpler design that I have created I have used a simpler font that is separated lettering making it look more sparse. I have layered the review in front of the word horror again they touch and so look like they belong together.

Overall I feel this has been a useful activity and will refer to it later when creating our poster and magazine cover. My favorite is the second design as I feel it is most suitable for the title of a magazine bout could also be used a title font for our poster. I will suggest this to my group and we can decide what font we wish to use closer to the time.
