Choosing Font Types


As we are in the process of constructing our final images for the digipak, we have realised that the type face we use for our text is vitally important. To explore and decide on the type of font(s) we have used the website 'dafont.com' to view and try out some different type faces. 

When planning our digipak we decided that we want to keep the front cover very simple, with perhaps just a single image and the band name and/or the single name. We have decided this after researching some band album covers for inspiration earlier on in the project.

We are still unsure whether to include both the band name and the single name on the digipak front cover but we have decided that the majority of the text as well as the company logo will feature on the back cover of our digipak.

We have decided that the font we want has to be quite scrawled as if it has been hand written, however we still want it to be fairly legiable. This type of handwritten/calligraphy style font fits in with our chosen genre and matches the generic conventions of that genre. Some of the images of the fonts we tried out can be seen below.
