Poster: Exploring Fonts

When deciding what fonts we wanted for the film poster we had already discussed in the designing process that we wanted to have a simple plain font as we felt this would match the Horror film genre better than using on that was intentionally meant to look scary. However, we did try out a number of different fonts to see what would look best. One place we found for fonts was the website http://www.dafont.com/, on this website you can look through a number of different fonts and then download the one you like. We took a number of different fonts from this website but in the end settled on Century Gothic which we adapted to our film by making the ‘T’ look like a red cross. We felt this gave it a recognisable Horror stlye look.

This is the final font we used for our film poster and also in the credits to the film.

Here are a number of different ones we also tried out:
