I have chosen some digital types that I feel could work on my final piece. The first page of type are display types that i want to use on the front cover - mainly the title. I prefer the display types 1, 2, 5, 7 and 8 as they are bold and have a very asian style, but is still easy to read. I think the third type is to subtle and wouldn't stand out as the main type on the cover. I think the lettering on the fourth type is too spaced out, especially on the 'K's and this makes it harder to read and is less effective. I think the 6th type is too small and is very hard to read but is very effective as an oriental type. I think the 9th type is too decorative for the style i am trying to create and would look better in a mixture of higher and lower case. On the second page i have chosen a type for sub titles and also small bursts of body text. I like the first type, fourth type, fifth type, sixth type and the 8th type as they are easy to read and look very hand made which is in the style and genre of my book cover. The 2nd and 3rd type are more display types and i don't think they would fit in with the style of book. I think the 7th type is too tall and would be harder to read with more than a few words. The 9th type is too hand drawn and is hard to read. |
