Fonts.









After the initial creation stages of our poster I decided that it would be a good idea to look into fonts which would be suitable. After careful consideration I narrowed it down to the three fonts above, Face your fears, True Lies and 1942 Report

When exploring these I came to the conclusion that the 1942 Report text would be more suitable for our poster. The reason for this is because I believed that the Face your fears text was possibly a little unclear to read for a poster and also looked a little like cartoon writing which didn't look professional enough to me. Also the true lies font had too sharp of an edge and because I wanted to create an eerie atmosphere on my poster this is why I went for 1942 report. Although this text does appear to be a little thin, once I downloaded this font into Photoshop it allowed me to alter the dimensions of each letter and the spaces in between which is why it fits in with our poster. (Shown below)



- Another change that I made to the font was to type it out in capital letters. By doing this it made sure that all of my letters where the same size and ensured they didn't look odd.
