Update

During this lesson we went through our schedule and decided that tomorrow, we would go out and take photos for our principal shoot. Today we all updated our blogs and started to collect and create photos for the profiles of our three protagonists.

Catch Me If You Can

-clear fonts, easy to read
-Saul Bass esque (lines and colour)

Lord of War
-White font - dark background
-Small, centered
-Bullet - dehumanises - not attached to characters
-San serif font
-Soviet writing - Russian, cold war, warish

Fonts

From our questionnaire, we had decided that this font was our favourite, however we had decided to play around with the font top make it more interesting. 

This is our font plain. As a group we think that this is a little plain and boring. 

I thought it would look great if there was a shadow, however as a group we decided that the light grey/white shadow makes the font look too comedic. 

Using the same shadow idea, we changed it so that there was a darker red shadow. Aiden likes this version of the font. 

As another design with the shadow idea, we changed the shadow to a dark grey. Louis likes this version. 

I am unsure as to which version I like. I think we should wait until Terry sees this (as he is absent today) and see which he prefers out of our final two. 

UPDATE: Terry came back in and decided that the one with a dark grey shadow over the red.
