3. Charlie and the chocolate factory – Roald Dahl
Charlie and the chocolate factory is a book
written by Roald Dahl, it takes you on a story
about a poor boy that wins a golden ticket to
have a short tour around Willy Wonka’s
chocolate factory.
Coupled with his grandfather and other
families the tour begins but not as people first
expected, many twists and disasters along the
way lead to each family being removed one by
one until it is just Charlie and his grandfather
left.
The main moral of the story is poverty vs.
wealth, peoples greed will take over their
personality and makes them become rather
nasty people.

5. Fonts
These fonts were selected to fit with a re-design of the book
cover to Charlie and the chocolate factory by Roald Dahl. Some
fonts are similar to the original cover but some portray the
opposite, these will help me for when I re-design the cover.
6. Chosen fonts
This font fits well with the novel because it looks slightly similar to the original but is much broader
and uses a sans-serif style instead of script like on the original book cover.
I liked this script style font because it is lively and is eye catching, the font makes you take a closer
look to read carefully but without making it too difficult to read. It is also similar to other script fonts
that Roald Dahl used on the cover of his novels.
This font is a very simple handwritten font that portrays the imagery of the book well, it is very easy
to read and has a sort of childish vibe surrounding it. I think the font would work well on the cover of
a Dahl novel because of its simplicity and the size of the font as a whole.
7. Chosen fonts (continued)
This font is a relatively basic serif font that has different width along each letter giving it a little
edge on other types of serif fonts, each of the serif’s is larger than normal and the font itself
appears to be stretched upwards giving the font a bigger look. The font looks rather formal
and might work well for the writers name but not so well for the title of the book because of it
being a more informal children’s book.
The font is in the style of script, it looks hand written and includes large squiggles and
curves on letter to give it an authentic feel. The font itself is similar to that which is used
on Roald Dahl original book covers, the font would fit extremely well on a Dahl book cover
because it shares many similarities to fonts he has used before.
