Today in our lesson we had a look at some ideas for our logo. We wanted to use a handwriting-style font, as many female artists such as Pixie Lott have their signature (or something that could be their signature) as their logo. We found a website that does free handwriting style fonts and here were some that we liked:
This one was fairly simple but looks unusual and striking. However we decided that it wasn't bold enough, but we could use bold on it in word.
These two are quite similar, but we decided that we liked 'never let go' better, as it looks more like natural handwriting. This is a possible font we could use.
We liked this one but it looks a bit too much like a font rather than handwriting, so we weren't sure about it.
We then tried out our artist's name in each font to see which we liked better.:
We think this font might be better to use in the booklet or something because it's not very bold and doesn't stand out much, which is important for an artist's logo.
We do like the look of this one but we're not completely sure. We're considering possibly making our own font, so that we can get the look we're after, but it was useful to see what we did and didn't like.
Well done Charlotte. You use an effective combination of text and image to engage your readers.
ReplyDeleteYour digipak analysis is interesting. Try to add some more key terminology to make your posts more analytical: close up shots / connotations etc...
Make links to how you will use the conventions in the digipaks in your own version.
I also like your handwriting post. Add some text explaining ideas and inspirations from other artists' digipaks. It may be an idea to download a programme to produce the font you want. This would give you ideas to write about in the exam, as well as producing a professional digipak.
