Font Ideas

When I came to initially designing the digipak i found that all of the fonts available to me were copyrighted so I could not use them. This meant i would have to design my own, I made only one design for the band name font and I was happy with it. The font looks slightly retro in style and as the band is of the indie genre this fits the type of style that would generally be associated with this genre.

I then came to the font I would need for the song title. I went on to the Arctic monkeys site and took some inspiration from the font they used there.

This then gave me an idea for a font, I drew it out a few times until I was happy and this is the finished version.

I didn't feel that this really fit the tone of the song the way I wanted to and may have looked slightly out of place on the digipak. The font looks a little disgusting and although I want the font to be slightly creepy I feel it should still be aesthetically pleasing. So I went back to the drawing board and began working on a second font, the final version of the second attempt i feel fits what i wanted much more, the elongated jagged edges of the font give the creepy and slightly scary effect i wanted but the font flows nicely and is not displeasing to the eye. The hollow letters again add to both aims of being eery and yet nice looking.
