Font Ideas for Album Cover Title

The font that we chose needs to fit in with our genre,and also look suitable on our image. To make sure that we choose the right style of font, we picked a few different styles that we could compare. We knew that we wanted the font to be clear and bold, and it also needed to look good in white. We also decided that we was going to position the artists name underneath the title, therefore we wanted slightly different fonts for each one so that they stood out. We decided that we wanted the title of the album to be slightly bigger than the artists name, as well feel that this is the most important aspect of the album cover. When it comes to editing our album cover, we may edit the font we chose slightly, in case the shading does not match. We decided to look through the fonts on the website 'dafont.com', as this website offers a range of different styles that would accompany our image.

Fonts We May Use 





We really liked this particular font, as its very bold and would stand out over our artists suit and the brick wall. We must take into account that the font would be white, however we believe that it would still catch the audiences eye.










This font is very unique and would stand out on an album cover due to the shadow effect it has. It also fits in very well with the 'pop' genre as its fun, modern and bubbly. As a group we really liked that the font was already in white, so we would not have to change the shadow effect.







Although this font is quite simple, we think it would compliment our image as its very slick and modern. Its a very professional looking font, and would fit in nicely around the edges of the brick wall. However, when we made this font bolder, we felt that it was too overpowering.








After looking through the fonts on this website, we decided to look through the different styles of font on Photo Shop. This is because it will be easier to edit the font if it is a layer on the editing programme, and we would also be able to make quick changes if needs be.

      List of Fonts from Photo Shop

Here is just a small sample of the different kinds of fonts Photo Shop provides. Being able to compare them in a list is useful, as we were able to visualise which ones would be suit our image and overall vision for the album cover. I really liked the Charlesworth font as it looks very smart and bold, which would ensure that it stands out. I also like the idea of having the artists name in an italic font, so that it looks like a signature. I feel that the style of font Chaucer would fit well for the artists name, as it would not overpower the title of the album, whilst still being appealing to the audience.
