Fonts for titles chosen

When deciding our fonts we had a very clear idea of what we wanted. The genre had to be evident through the font this meant extensive research into the perfect font. The website for this is dafont.com which has thousands of different fonts. Focusing souly on the horror section of the website we found our ideal font.

We drew inspiration from films such as nightmare on elm street. These titles are effective as they are sharp and gripping the blood splatters have a menacing appeal and foreshadow the danger to come. We liked the way in which these titles looked rather cutting and sharp.

However we really drew inspiration from the film se7en which like our poster background had a scratchy effect about it which connotes distress and entrapment all of which our main themes within our production. We thought the dark dim colours were less obvious than the harsh red titles in Nightmare on Elm Street but still were just as effective in conveying the genre of horror.

This is a picture of the font we decided on we were all extremely pleased with this font we thought it fit the genre perfectly and will be used on both our magazine cover and poster for it to become instantly recognisable with audience and therefore create a stronger brand image.
