011 - Font Activity Poster Example

Page 011 Fonts//Activity = TypeFace Assignment Poster #1: I chose the font IMPACT

BIOHAZARD: ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ALLOWED IN THIS AREA.

I used this font because it was a STRONG font. It looks like a font that is very authoritative and very warning. I also used ALL CAPITALS so that people could realize it’s really serious and important. I chose this kerning because the close letters help show its seriousness.

Poster #2:

Cupcakes

$3

I chose the font Bahaus I used this font because it was looked fun. The rounded edges made was good to sell cupcakes because it wasn’t too serious. I made the font big to emphasize the cost since it was cheap. This kerning is wide...makes the sign look less serious.
