Typography


Here are a few different text designs I have chosen to display the crew of my production throughout our opening scene including the Title. These fonts are plain simple which portrays Toms life as he has quite a simple boring life. The people that I spoke to mostly preferred the bolder fonts and ones that had straight edges as it made the text stand out more and easily grabbed their attention. I think for the title I will use the 2nd from top font as it is bold and professional looking. The font colour showing the crew will be white on all the screens that have black backgrounds. It is the most visual and connotes the innocence of the main character.



Here are a few different fonts that I have chosen for the text that will be featured on the wall during our opening scene. 4 of these have the effect of something that is worn out/away which will fit in with the location of the subway. the other two are graffiti font which also fits in, these fonts will also blend in as there will already be graffiti on the walls of the subway.





Next I started to make a concept design of our title. This is the original design and then below it is the alternate font style. I believe that the title with thicker font works best because it fits better with the heart monitor line. They are the same width so look natural together.






Below I tested to see how the title should come to a stop so that it could then fade into a black screen. The first option didn't fade very well and the second one ended too short and made the title look rushed, because of this decided to try a different technique.  

                                                                  





Here I chose between the three different designs on the tip of the heart beat monitor, a flat one, curved or pointed. I chose the pointed tip as it looked the most professional as thats the one used on a real heart beat monitor.





Finally I used the gradient tool on photoshop to make the line that goes under the title to slowly fade this will lead into a plain black background. The line also represents the heart monitor flatlining hinting the main character could be dead.







This last picture is my final design and i would like to be able to animate it so it disappears off screen looking professional.
