Choices of Font Type

Choosing the right font is essential to our CD cover and how the final image is portrayed. We wanted to find a font which was fun and quirky like Kate's style of music, avoiding common fonts such as Times New Roman, Comic Sans and Arial which would mainly be used for magazine articles, newspapers, books and website pages.

A great site with a wide variety of fonts on is fontspace.com which gave a wide variety of hand written and fun fonts to choose from. A few examples of fonts that we looked at include;

 

 

 

As you can see we have looked at a wide range of fonts from both fontspace and 1001freefonts which give anyone the chance to download thousands of fonts. We decided to look at a variety of fonts from a more stylish but simple look seen in 1. and 3. to more exciting fonts such 4. and 5. which use a curly style and a brush style. However we decided that we wanted something more in the middle that was both stylish and quirky.

We chose 2 different fonts to match the mood of the song and Kate's overall theme. This first one we choose as seen bellow was because it wasn't too feminine and it was slightly different and quirky which is how Kate Miller Heidke sees herself. However this font will not be used on the CD cover and instead will be used to display key information on the advertisement - such as hits the album includes, website information and when it is out.

The second font we choose was from a different website - www.1001fonts.com. This one will be used for the CD cover and will be used for Kate's name and Little Eve (the album title). We will this one is more exciting and quirky that the first and will suit the front cover and background of the album.
