Typography Inspiration

 We have started to analysis different typography styles to help us decide what typography we can use for our poster, film magazine cover or website. These are a few examples we found that are quite interesting. The first one we thought could represent our horror film well, it used the three main gothic-horror colours, red white and black. The lettering appears to be on smeared blood, which represents danger, threat, murder, etc. The black lines around the lettering could represent sharp objects such as barbed wire. Eventhough there is a lot of imagery in this style of typography, the word 'sample' is still visable and can be clearly read.

This is the second style of typography we looked at. The lettering is very clear and the bright UV-like colours make it quite eye-catching. However we thought this style wouldn't work as well as the one before because it doesnt represent our particular genre. But the water marks around the lettering create an interestinf effect and we could possibly use this idea and use red to represent blood, danger, threat, etc.
