After posting the four different font styles i could use on my poster, the response I got was in favour of the Stencil font. However, after looking at it again and comparing, I decided that the font was too military and does not fit the theme of the film, as well as looking too harsh and overpowering in contrast to the image. I then looked at the second favourite from my experiments, the Papyrus font. This looks creepier and not harsh on top of the image, fitting the themes better. Although this was the second favourite, there was additional comments on how this should be improved, including making it bolder and increase the spacing. I have now worked from these comments and have the following results.
For all of the above images I made the title bigger so it stands out, the only differences they have is have given them different coloured strokes around the text to make it stand out. The first has the same red in the hoodie sleeves as an outline, the second has black and the third is just thick white. All three make the text stand out more, but all in different ways. For example, the white looks a bit chalky and loses some of the textured edge. As I think the white looks too messy, I am going to dismiss it, and just post the black and red outlined text ideas on Twitter and Facebook to get more audience feedback.
After posting the images on facebook, the result I got told me that the text with the red outline was better from the audiences point of view. I also agree with this, as it makes the text stand out the most. Therefore, I am going to be using that poster as my final one.
