Typography Experimentation

By using Adobe Photoshop, I was able to type along the path of an individual letter. This style can be developed by using a range of colours linked specifically to our genre, and by using a whole word, e.g. the title of our film.




Similarly, this experimentation of typography layout shows that text can follow a shape. We can use this idea in our ancillary tasks - the title can follow imagery. By using different font sizes, there are points of the image which the audience specifically focus' on. We could, therefore include larger font size over the golden section of our poster to attract attention.





This draft title was created using Serif Drawplus 8.0. The red typography immediately signifies danger and blood, hence linking to our genre. However, we could develop this and use a colour which specifically links to our supernatural genre - such as a murky green. The colour is enhanced when positioned in front of a black background, therefore this is a key feature of our poster and website. By have a handwritten style font and using the node tool to alter the style of font, the result is an unsettling and appealing title for our film.

This was creating also using Serif Drawplus 8.0, whereas I used one of our photographs to act as the main feature of our poster, with the typography positioned to create an idea of a finished product. The font and image both portray the horror genre. It seems that the audience is more focused on the title when it is positioned in front of a stark background, without imagery. We will incorporate this idea into the drafts of our ancillary tasks.
