I will be using the second and fourth fonts for my
ancillary work, but will still be searching or fonts which may look better.
Before choosing my font, I had done some research into
the types of fonts used for hip-hop albums and found that they often consist of
bold, sharp fonts – especially for male artists. Album covers for female
artists are similar, but have a curvy touch as it makes it look more feminine. The
second font used usually looks like street art/graffiti or hand written.
Every album I looked at had a different font, as all artists have a
font which is individual to them. The fonts used match the genre and style of
music.
Therefore, when deciding what font to use, I ensured I looked
for sharp, bold fonts which would be unique to my artist.
Below is a short list of fonts which I have selected from
dafont.com
I really like the first font as it looks like fragmented pieces
has been mended after being broken apart. It would be reflective of our music
video. However, I feel that it looks a bit too comical for a hip-hop music
video. I also like the look and feel of
the third font, but it seems to me that the font would better suit ancillary
work for a techno music video.
When creating the digital mock-up, I had used the fourth
font; but I have realised that it look like the Ferrari font therefore I will
not be using it for the final ancillary products. It is also quite round which
reduces the strength and masculinity.
