Typography

One of the things I need to think about is the Typography of the title, and overall how it's going to look.  This is important because the title will probably be the most iconic part of the overall package, as it will be a logo and brand title. The title will go everywhere and be on every part of the package, so there needs to be a lot of thought go into it, to make it perfect for my film. Because of this, I decided to write out the title in many different fonts (as shown below) for me to decide on which I would think would look best. What is important to take into account though, is that it may be subject to minor change when on my poster, in regards to colour, size and possibly shape so that it fits the images and looks part of the poster and not a stand alone thing.

To make a good decision, I decided to stray away from built in Windows fonts and instead started looking online for different, maybe slightly abstract fonts to use. I have looked a variety of different fonts as will be shown below, all in the same size, etc. After which, I'll try and decide on which one(s) I want to use!




As  can be seen, there are a lot of fonts here! I went through hundreds and hundreds of fonts to find ones that I really liked and here there are many! It's going to be very difficult to choose the right one for the job. What to keep in mind is that I will pick a font for the Title of the film 'Taking A Stand' and one for the tagline, which may be the same or different, dependent on whether or not they would clash...

The fonts are all very different and varied, and none of them look 'bad' and all (If put in the right way), would work for my film! As for picking the 'right' one, it's not so easy!
Also, I think I'm going to have to decide once I have more images to work with and see! So, I'm not gonna pick my Typography here, merely have lots in mind and decide fully when it comes to creating the posters and such!
