Fonts

I liked this font a lot when I found it, it's not boring but its a more plain font that wont attract more attention than it needs, I think it's a likely candidate for my products.

This font I didn't like as much, I thought it was too graffiti like and chavvy. It also actually looks slightly 80's like so I think this one is better avoided.

This had some negative feedback from classmates (more feedback below), they called it "Gothic" and "emo" like. Additionally, I think it's the sort of font that could attract more attention to itself than maybe what it says. Although I wouldn't rule it out, When I make my products I may at least try to put it on to see what it looks like.

This ones my second favourite. The font name itself has relevance to my theme of song and it (like the first font) is simple and shouldn't attract more attention than other fonts, again even if I decide not to use it I could still try adding it to my product at some point and see the outcome.

This font I feel is similar to the "Loserboi Grunge" font, It may work on one level but on a CD cover it may not, I would have to feature it but a smaller less important role on my poster possibly.

Above are the fonts I have chosen using the Dafont site, I typed in keywords like rap/hip-hop, and after some time I found these, I have also asked for some feeback from people in my class to see what they thought of my choices. This is what they said:

Lee: I like the "hitman" font. It looks far more sinister, cool and adaptable to products. The only other one I would use is the "V-DUB" font because it looks like it has more relevance to your theme and products will therefore be easier to produce.

Leanne: I think the "raslani hip hop" font is too chavvy for the products your going to make, it almost looks 80's and I don't think it would suit anything to be honest. I'd personally agree with Lees' choice.

Brad: The "Loserboi Grunge" font is too Gothic or emo-like to be the right font for your product, A lot of the album covers I see for rap/hip/hop album covers are far cleaner cut, defined and simplistic within reason. This would look too out of place on a cover that should potentially be very simple.

After this feedback it is obvious which one I should pick, the favour is heavily swung for the "Hitman" font and "V-DUB", however I think the "V-DUB" font is too simplistic and the "Hitman" font just has the edge on aesthetics. So that is the one I will use.
