Titles and Font Analysis

Throughout the editing of our complete promtional package we used several fonts for our film titles, magazine cover and film poster.

For the film titles, we wanted to keep the font plain and easily readable, like other drama films. After some research we established that the conventional and most proffesional looking way to do the titles is a white, plain font on a black background. While editing the poster in Adobe Photoshop, the group asked if Iwould be able to create a more interesting title, so I downloaded a set of flower bushes online and began to create a flower-filled boarder; when showing the group they disagreed with what I had done, and in deleting the flowers I accidently placed a flower over the writing and it was what we went with.

For the film poster we kept the font simple but had separate words white and black; at first only to make them stand out from Emma's dark hair, but then we agreed it looked good. We also used some curly font at the top of the poster for our tagline - this was the font we were considering using for the title at first.

Our magazine cover consisted of only three fonts: a plain font, Arial, which we used for all of the writing across the whole magazine, except for the Total Film title, as we wanted to use the same font as the actual magazine to make it look more proffesional - luckily we found the perfect font, named Motor Oil, which we downloaded from Dafont.com. The third was the curly font that we used at the top of the film poster - we used this for the 'For Better For Worse' title so that it stood out.
