Font Ideas

Using the website "www.dafont.com", I have identified a handful of unique fonts that could be acceptable to use in both the ancillary products and trailer of the film, based on their aesthetics and how it relates to the films setting.

This first font style is based off of graffiti art styles found on city streets and is representative of the gang culture that is seen in the narratives we have established so I feel that it suits the setting and narrative the trailer is trying to show. The thick, bold, upper case lettering also make it easily legible making it applicable for use on the posters and magazines as people can immediately identify the name of the film.

This is my least favourite of the fonts I have looked at as it just seems a bit boring and plain. The only thing that is unique about it is the cracks in parts of the letters. This may be representative of the main characters life being fractured in my narrative however the overall aesthetic of the font is boring because it doesn't look too unique and could just be a standard font if it didn't have the cracks.

I like this font because it looks like faded graffiti as if it was made with intent and purpose but over the years was forgotten about. This could be seen as the reason why the character in my narrative joined his gang. He had is reason, to have some sort of escape from the life he was living, but over time this reason faded and gave way to new reasons such as addiction and money. The downside to the font is that it might be hard to read on a poster or magazine so, although interesting, it may not be the best choice of font.


                                                                                                 

I find this font the most eye catching due to the contrast between the black/white backgrounds and the colour of the letters making each letter stand out. The randomness instead of a pattern also makes it seem slightly chaotic which is representative of the main characters life. I feel that this would be best suited to the trailer instead of the ancillary products as this would be good with effects added to it, however I think on a poster or magazine it would look a bit too out of place.

The final font I have looked at I think would look good on a poster or magazine due to its bold, block style and upper case lettering making it stand out. The scratches at the bottom look like scars, which many of the characters would carry both physically and mentally, making it suitable for the narrative.
