Fonts

When making my print productions I am planning to choose two fonts to incorporate into my design, both that will compliment each other as well as the tone of the album and fit the pop-indie genre.

Artist Name Fonts (Finn Doherty) 

When considering what font I wanted to use for the artist name on the album, I decided I wanted clear text that stood out. I will be considering capitalised sans-serif fonts, as I feel these will be bold and make the artist name stand out on the cover. A bold font would also work well because it would be the largest text on the design.



These fonts (chosen from dafont.com) all have a similar style in that they are distinct and understandable, without being too conspicuous. I want to ensure the font I choose does not distract the viewer from the rest of the design, but is also captivating. 
The font I will be using is Dolce Vita, as I feel its bold rounded effect will work well when used to write a name, and its slanted effect on individual letters allows it to have an interesting design that will not take away from the design of the rest of my print production pieces. 


Album Title Font (where do we go?)

For the album name, I want the font to be very different to the artist name font, but also complimentary. I feel a font more illusory and stylish could work well, as an alternative look would create a strong link to the alternative genre of pop-indie. 











A script font would work well with my hope to achieve a stylish look. This font - bullgati - is simple but effective in its script style, as it creates a professional look but is also easy to understand. 








This font - also a script font style - is similar in that it has a similar chic stylish look, however the narrowness of the lines could mean it would not stand out on the album cover. Another consideration is that this font could lean too much towards a pretentious portrayal of the album, and does not entirely fit the pop-indie genre. 

The script font I will be using is Bullgati, as I feel like of the two, its more bold design would compliment the first chosen font better, and is easier to understand. It is also less of an italic style, which improves it because it means it is not as overambitious, subsequently fitting the pop-indie genre.
