Task D for my Unit 14 LO1

1. Task D – Font Research
For my firstfontI have decidedtogofor a bolder
fontto make it so thatthe fonton the albumwill
standout to people more andwill attractthemto
whatis goingon andto buy the album.
Furthermore,Ihave chosenthisalbumasin the
genre of rap and hip-hopyoumainlywillsee the use of bolderfontsforalbumtitlesandtext,and
thistherefore runsunderthe stereotype of the genre andeventhoughmyalbumwill have some
othergenresmixedintothe songssuchasR&B, it still will have the general rapvibe toit.Thisfontis
fromDaFont.comand it comesunderthe SansSerif fontswhichare basic, but theycan be very
effectiveandeye-catchingwhichwill therefore bringinmore peopleandcustomerstobuyit.
For my secondfontIhave decidedtogo for a lessbold
font,butit isquite eye-catchingandwill potentiallybring
ina lotof customerstobuythe album.Furthermore,the
fontis verybasicbut there are some letterssuchas the
‘e’that have a unique style tothemandtherefore could
be veryeffective asafontin general.Italsowouldfitthe style of musicasI am tryingto mix a lot of
genresintoone withmystuff.Thisfonthas alsocome fromdafont.comandit isunderthe gothic

was goingforbut itdid lookmore like afontthat youcouldpotentiallyseeinrapalbumsand
therefore Ithoughtthatit wassuitable fora fontfor myalbumcoverto have.
Finally,formyfinal fontIgave gone witha basic fontthat isquite thin.
Although,Ihave gone fora font that youwouldusuallyfindwithagenre
like thisonsome albums,Idon’tthinkitis as commonas the othertwo
and isnot as eye-catchingandeffective enoughtobringinthe
customerstobuy the album.It doeshave some qualitiessuchasthe fact
that itis clear,and people are able toreadit veryclearlyif itwere tobe placedontothe album
howeverIdon’tthinkitwill be suitable forwhatIwant.
For my albumcoverand printadvertI have decidedtogofor the secondfontas it hasits own
unique style toitandit alsohas the eye-catchingelementtoitas well therefore meaningthat
people are goingtowant to knowwhatthe albumisabout and therefore will bringinmore sales.
