Creating Our Typography

I created some possible typography for our film opening. I used the software Photoshop in order to do this. I used images from both the internet and that I have taken myself. I used an online font website called DaFont which we have previously researched to create different typography. 

Here I used Banksy's famous image of a thug but replaced the flowers with a graffiti can as our opening features graffiti and is considered urban art which links with our genre. In the background is the London skyline as well at the bottom of the font. The font is quite simple and bold as I learnt this about urban drama typography from previous research. I kept it black and white so that the images would get confusing to look at.

With this text I used my own photo (far left) of our protagonist but edited it so that it is black and white. I once again kept it black and white as I thought colours would be too distracting and confusing. I used graffiti font for the text 'Rock & Bottles' to bring in an urban theme. I once again used the London skyline and an image of a gang to relate to our plot.    



Here I focussed more so on graffiti and used an image of a spray can with the title of our opening to bring in the urban theme. I used colour this time as it is a simpler design. I thought the paint splatters were suitable and the colour makes it more visually appealing/exciting. The font is bold which is suitable for urban drama typography.

This font shows once again our main protagonist and uses graffiti to make it fit the urban drama genre. I included colour as it makes it more interesting to look at. The title is in a bold font and stands out and fits as an urban drama typography as my research showed me font should be bold and stand out.
