Titles & Fonts

For the Magazine cover, Poster and Teaser Trailer which I created as the three products, I have used various different fonts (Styles, Colour and Sizes) so that each one would attract my target audience in a different way and it wouldn't be all consistant throughout each product which is a convention that I have challeneged as from my research it showed that the style of font on the Film poster and also on the Teaser Trailer were the same and if not, then quite similar.

This is the font which I used on my poster. From the posters that I researched, I noticed that most of them were clear easy to read bold dark colours and I quite liked this as it was the type of font that grabbed my attention. I tried many fonts for the title but found that finding a style and colour that went well with the background colour/image and also contrasted the genre of the film was hard to find and sometimes I would get the style of font right but not the colour. I thought that having a simple black bold font would be easiest to read as it stands out more. Although this font is simple and boring, it works really well and I think it grabs the attention of an audience.

I used a similar font for the magazine title as I did for the poster as I thought of similar for this. It's clear and easily readable, it stands out and it's an abbreviated name which I think will hook people in. I outlined the bold black letters with white as I thought it helped it to stand out against the colour of the dark hair in the picture.
For this coverline, I used the same colour and outline as the title as I felt that the title grabs the attention quite well so I was hoping that the same style of font will help attract the attention to this coverline.

I used many different styles of fonts for different coverline stories like this one. I used a bright red colour which would help grab attention and also a bright yellow shape which also does the same. I used a brighter font for the coverlines that I felt were the best ones that needed most attention.
