Album Fonts

I have looked at some albums fonts which are on their album covers and I will be looking at which ones I think I would prefer to put on my album cover. I have looked at a variety of fonts and also a variety of artists which I think have fonts that go with my style/ genre of music.

I really like the use of capital letters on this album cover because I think that it stands out from the bland background. I think that having the name of the artist really big and then having the name of the album/single under it with the same font but smaller works really well. I really like how the writing is really big but I also like how it is really thin.

I really like the use of the blue against the black and white imagery because it makes the artists name really stand out. I also think that the use of capitals works well as it contrasts with the lower case handwriting underneath which is the album name.

I like the use of the different sort of white tones on the writing as it makes the artists name stand out more than the album name. I really like the use of capitals and the use of contrast with the background.

I really like the use of the black, white and red. I really like the thin font because it isn't too in your face and looks really proffesional. I think that the red stands out from the white. I also really like how the artists name is bigger than the name of the album.

I decided to look at the font on Tracy Chapmans' album so I could get an idea of what sort of font is used for the genre of our music. From looking at this it has become obvious that the font is writing which isn't too in your face and the use of capitals is relevant.

I really like how the 'Jay' stands out from the 'Sean' I think that having all of the fonts different works really well. I really like how two fonts are used because I think that it makes a contrast but it works really well. I think that the use of having 'Jay' in capitals means that it stands out much more.

From looking at the fonts I have realised that most albums fonts are squarish and very thin and simple, this means that I will be thinking more along the lines of simple rather than in your face. I have also realised that most of them have the name really big and then have the album name underneath in the same font but much smaller. I think that I will use this idea because then it will fit in with the concept of albums and will hopefully look professional.
