Font Ideas

I constructed a few posters of different fonts that my group could use for the Magazine Advertisement and Digipak. I used 'www.dafont.com' and, also the fonts that were already installed on Photoshop and Word, I scrolled through, searching for fonts that i thought would fit the particular genre of the song that we are using.

I tried to include fonts that could be used for either of the Ancillary tasks, or for just one, so that there was a wide variety of different

fonts. I created the posters by sticking a copy of the font in the words 'Mazzy Star' to give the group an actual idea of what it would look like on the actual product, as I thought that this would help the group greatly on making the decision. I wrote what the font name was underneath the font and also what i thought it would be best suited for.

Using the posters that I had created, my group then asked people, at random, both in and out of our Media Studies class, which of the fonts they thought would best suit firstly the Digipak, and then secondly, the magazine advertisement. We cast 26 votes in total, for each of the ancillary tasks. We did this in order to gain as much audience feedback as possible; in order to create ancillary tasks bes

t suited for their purpose.

How do I feel about the fonts that I have collected, and will this help my group?

I tried to include close-up photographs of the fonts that i thought were most interesting or stood out from the others. I hope that my group will consider my findings when, during the production of the Magazine Advertisement and Digipak, a font will need to be chosen.
