Font Ideas

The first font that I've looked at is Nervous. I found this font on DaFont.com and thought it was a good option as it looks distorted. This would be good as it helps to create the idea of an altered sense of reality that happens when you are drunk. One issue I have with this font is that the distortion comes at the expense of clarity, making it hard to read the font. I think this a case where a balance needs to be found.

One of the reasons I like this font is that it has a grime feel that I think could be suited to the genre. It also remains readable which is an advantage over the first font. 

I think this font is a possibility because it is more unique than any others. It would give a unique feel to the video which would help it to stand out. 

In order to get a better grasp on what font the audience may want to see in our ancillary tasks, our group created a questionnaire. One of the main questions was which font was their favourite. Here are the results for this question:

The results to this question show that the audience preferred 'River Drive' font. However some of the feedback also indicated that whilst the third may have been their favourite, it doesn't suit the genre of rap. For example one response said:

"It could be used for it (rap), but I would have said the second choice would be more rap based"

This is a notion that it supported by the rest of our results, with three of the five people who chose 'River Drive' saying that it didn't suit the genre of rap. Therefore, to stick to conventions it might be a good idea to consider one of the other fonts. One interesting piece of feedback about the Nervous font, the second most popular, was this:

"It's edgy but you can also clearly read it"

This is encouraging as it supports the distorted feel that we will probably go for with our ancillary tasks. The 'Nervous' font gives an option that illustrates the distortion we're aiming to show whilst not being unreadable.
