Typography Examples

This text looks like its written in blood, but also has a scratchy style to the lettering. The number “4” could relate to a younger target audience, as it is "text" language. The red colour represents blood, death etc but is also challenged by the image of a heart as it represents romance, but has blood underneath. It also says valentine on the heart (box of chocolates) The audience quite a lot of narrative from the poster, could possibly be obsession. Also the language used at the bottom creates intrigue, but is written in the same way as the title.






Although this doesn't fit the genre of our teaser trailer, the typography used is interesting. The title is very clear and simple to read. It is also the first thing that the eye is drawn towards, and it is in the golden section. The colour of the typography changes through the word depending, and contrasting with the background. The black and white colouring could repestent conflict between the characters. The woman standing in the back is wearing a red dress, which comes with all the connotations of being seductive, promiscuous, and sexually dominant, and could be the character to be feared or disliked in the film.
We really like this example of typography, as the lettering and whole words are still very clear and easy to read, but also has a hidden message. When you look closely, the audience can see that the shape of a corner of a shower is shown in the lettering, and as it gets closer to the bottom the amount of red blood increases.  It uses the 3 gothic colours, red white and black. At the beginning the audience are attracted to the blood at the bottom, but they have to really focus to see what it is, which creates intrigue about the event.
All of these examples of typography could influence our decisions made when creating our typography.
