The following fonts are ideas for my album cover. I have given out a separate questionnaire to find out which fonts would be most successful. Font number one is very clear and bold like, attracting the audience well and making the font easily read from a distance. Although at first glance I do think that the font is quite boring and lacks originality as I think the font should ensure that it gives off the genre of the music along with the keeping the idea of being in some one's imagination.
Font number 2 is similar to number 1, but there is a white border around the letters, making the letters seem close together. I think if this font was in a different colour would be very successful on the single cover as it would attract audience successfully because of its originality and that it is clear and concise.
Font number 3 is a stencil like font, this font is one of my favourites I think it's very artistic and the letters stand out well. With the background I am planning on having I think this particular font would go extremely well.
Font number 4 is a comical style type of font, this one is also one of my favourites I think if I use this one it will add into the idea of being in a child's mind, I took the inspiration of this font from Mika's 'boy who knew too much' CD cover which in my opinion I thought was very successful.
Font number 5 is very different from all the other fonts, the letters are very thin and together the band's name looks very old fashioned which perhaps would work to a disadvantage because the font doesn't give of the orginaityl and unquieness of the song and this is highlighted as the font was only given 5 votes by the audience.
Font number 6 is very similar to number 4, they both look comical and something that would appear in a children's comic. I think by using this particular font would be very successful, it is very big and chuncky being very eye catching.
Font number 7 is very big and wide, the font would be spread across the single cover, in the middle it has a white line making the shape of the letters, and the letters are quite curvy and rounded.
Font number 8, the letters are more close together and the style the words are in makes each letter look robotic, square like. I feel that if I perhaps use this font but in a brighter, warmer colour like red for example it will be eye catching and exciting.
This font number 9, each letter looks very thin and spaced out. The font is different from the others I have used the word altogether looks bigger and this will come to an advantage as the bigger the font, it is more likely that audience will notice it.
Font number 10, the last font is very much different from the others. The letters are all made out of small squares which altogether look very much exciting and visually attractive, however when I asked the target audience what genre they thought the font would be used for, the majority said dance genre so therefore as MGMT are not a dance band I will not use this font.
