Research- Typography

To cultivate ideas for our typography we used different font generators but mainly 'DaFont' which includes a range of different fonts. We searched for it under the 'Horror' section on the website. We wanted to have our title all in uppercase letters to make it stand out more and to make it more memorable when someone looks at the poster. This also conforms with stereotypical horror titles as most of them are in capital letters. 

Some problems we encountered included the fonts being too 'worn away' so they wouldnt come up properly on photoshop and wouldnt look professional. We ended up going for a font that was more solid but still had a classical horror feel to it. It has a slightly more medievil feel as apose to a common horror font. We also chose to invert the colours and have the title as white on a black background as we felt this stands out more and also would fit in with the chosen colour scheme of our poster.  We noticed the star in the centre of the O which we felt fitted in with our on going theme of eyes in our project, the serifs on the letters also give the text a more classic feel which older style texts normally have.
