How I used font as a horror
convention on my website.
       By Stephanie Caldecott
To find a suitable font to use on my website, I typed 'horror fonts' into a search
engine, which lead me to a website called 'dafont,' which provides free fonts
for anybody's use. I typed in the word I wanted in a horror font and these
samples came up:




The circled font is the font I chose to use on my website, as I felt it reflected
the horror conventions and fit in with my overall design.
I copied and pasted the font into
                                      paint and inverted the colours of
                                      the image in order to swap
                                      around the font colour from black
                                      to white, and the background
                                      colour from white to black.




After inverting the colours, I felt
that the black background fit in
better with my website visually
due to the overall black
background and the horror
convention of a dark colour
palette.
After seeing that this font worked well on my website, I decided to use it as
the 'house font' on all of the titles, subtitles and review section. I think that by
using a font specifically designed with the theme of horror in mind, I have
added to the horror conventions on my website, therefore enabling me to
attract the attention of a big chunk of my target audience, which are fans of
horror.
