Type Choices - Digital

Below are a selection of digital typefaces which I found and downloaded from DaFont. These were positioned on a Photoshop document where screenshots were taken, allowing for each font to be presented clearly. Beneath you can see the original Photoshop documents of all the types I gathered.

I then arranged a number of other typefaces into a chart, starting with an example of the typeface then a column for both pro's and con's of each font.


Once I'd finished writing the pros and cons, I began to put some digitally downloaded fonts onto a draft I'd made of my work. This in turn helped a great deal, and gave me the ability to eliminate different styles of font which did not match the feel of my product. All of the following screenshots show only the placement of my title, and the drafted sketch I'd done for my final drafting.

The first example of font is a script type font, this gives an elegant feel to my draft and this is not the effect I'm aiming for. Although this font is effective at standing out against my sketch it does not lend itself to the genre in which I'm creating my illustrated book, and therefore I will not be using this fort or a font similar to this for my final piece.

 This next font is a display type font which somewhat resembles bubbles. Although this is effective I will not be using a font like this due to the fact it doesn't fit with the genre I am aiming for, nor would it be effective if I used it in this situation.

Below are two types of hand-written types of font.  This gives the type of effect I'm looking for, for my final piece. The authentic, scratchy type look to the typeface is something which contrasts my drawing style for this piece of work. I've come to the conclusion that I will be using and creating a hand written type for my final piece
