Working on the fonts



To create, this mock-up of the fonts I basically made this on Photoshop using the same programming device of dafont and put this font onto a blank file.  I then just put this existing font onto the file using the same process of putting the red onto the title using the paint bucket tool which filled it with colour thus giving it this impressionable look and making it rather clear. So far i have this percolation that the font is rather hard to distinguish what the actual font was like thus reading really hard. I feel that I would defiantly try to make the font far more distinguishable by putting it on the same background and exploring some options. The routes that I could possibly explore with this font could possibly be making the font thicker or possibly removing some of the white shadowing which might be distracting the original.

I have basically here improved the font to some extent and it has to an extent improved but I think that I still preference the above font more as it looks clear and precise. To make this font I basically just paint bucketed the font to make it look far more distinguishable. The trouble or in a way the disadvantage with this font is that it is very pixelated and doesn't look at professional as, I wanted it too.

I have showed this series of exploration to my group and as a decision we decided that the shadowing font looks so much more precise and clear- it also has this professional look as the shadowing looks worked upon and the other option is too childish making it look naive and not as nice and clear about this. I now plan to try and add this exploration to the smaller titles and this would therefore show a sense of cohesion and will help me as the titles manager to make the decision if it flows cohesively as one piece.
