Experimenting with fonts

This is an experiment with fonts and names

I had a selection of different photos i wanted to use for my front cover, however i chose this photo. Although it is quite a common and ordinary pose, i feel that it stands out and helps portray the message i was aiming for.the smile shows Cameron Graces personality however the big eyes shows her confidence and authority within music.

I selected the front cover image and started editing it.I cut out the background and experimented with different colours.


Once i had picked a background colour i carefully spent time editing each section of the photo ensuring there were no white spaces or unwanted parts left. Using Photoshop i also brightened the photo slightly to ensure high quality and a bright, eye catching photo.

I decided to name my artist "Cameron Grace". It sounds natural, simplistic and catchy making it memorable for the audience. I decided to try out different fonts for her name. Whilst researching different magazine front covers, I saw every artist/band having their name bold across the front of the image. This gave me confidence to display "Cameron Grace" bold across my front cover.

I knew the font needed to be bold but I did not know whether it should be sans or sanserif. Instead of deciding i got a variety of both styles each with individual differences.
After closely looking and asking a few peoples opinions, I decided to use either the first font or the last font.




I liked the detail and shape of the first font however I knew the second was much more bold, distinctive and effective towards the genre of music Cameron Grace has. This is why I decided to use the second font.
