As part of our coursework we also have the create a digipak. Therefore I thought it would be a good idea to carry out some research into the different types of fonts that are available to use and which one would be most suited to our artists style. Below are some prints screens of some fonts that I have looked at. Some of them I am considering using where as others I am not.
This image displays some fonts that are all of a similar theme. They are all very curly. I have decided that these type of fonts do not suit our artists image. I would prefer for our artist to have an edger vibe to her look, considering she is going to be singing an R&B song. Therefore I think that this text is too girly. As well as this, I would prefer to go for something quite plain as it makes it more visible on the shelf.
Above is an image of some other fonts that I have looked at. One of the fonts that I like out of these is, PRISMA. I like this font because it is quite bold as it is all in upper case and therefore would stands out on the case. I also like the use of lines that are integrated within the font as it adds an extra something to the font, however it is not too overcomplicated.
I also looked at some of the most recent fonts that are on the dafont website. I thought it would be a good idea to look at recent fonts as it gave me an idea of what is new and currently available. One of the newest fonts that I like is LASER METAL. The only problem I have with this font is that it might be quite difficult for our audience to read, as some of the letters might get confused with each other and therefore it will not be as eye catching whilst on the shelf.
Overall this research into fonts has been useful to me as it has given me a greater idea of the different types of fonts that are available to us and it has also given me an idea of the type of font that I would like to use for my artist. Although I still have not made a final decision on the font that I want to use, I think that this research has been productive in establishing what I like and do not like for my artist and has helped me to narrow down my choices.
