Portfolio Project: Fonts

Today Bailey and I decided on what font we would use for our film opening. We first narrowed the options that we would choose from by going onto Microsoft Word, writing the title of the film, and scrolling through every font option, writing down the ones we felt were possible options. After scrolling through, we narrowed the options down to the following fonts: Chiller, Gloucester MT, Eras Demi ITC, Maiandra GD, Mistral, Niagara Engraved, Viner Hand ITC. In order to see the fonts best, we put them side by side, along with the Maroon like color that will likely be used in the final product. An image of the comparison can be seen below.


All of the options depicted have been chosen for their visually assertive and thriller-like qualities which best match our intended film-opening with a suspense/thriller genre. We are still deciding on the fonts chosen as they are all special in their own way, each with their own reasons to choose them. For example, the Chiller and Mistral fonts are appealing as they have a creepy aesthetic which fits the murderous intent of Homer. The fonts Gloucester MT and Maiandra GD both offer an off-balance (an idea presented by Bailey), yet creepy style which presents the off-balance mental state Homer is in.
