Font suggestions for album artwork:

I decided to research different and suitable fonts that I could use for my album cover. I wanted to have a font that would make the album cover stand out and would represent a form of signature that the artist could have done, as a means of showing how the album is personal to the artist and she is passionate about her music. Also, this is similar to many other pop albums who have a italic font in order to represent them being care free and trendy at the same time. Below are four of my font suggestions:
Quid Pro Quo:
This was the font style that i finally picked for my album cover. I felt that this font with the dark purple colour i was to use made the album really stand out with the contrast of the black and white image. The font portrays a laid back an
d trendy feel which i felt was to be very suitable
.

Dearjoe4:
This font is very similar to the above but i felt that it had a much more professional feel to it. However, i decided not to use this typical font be
cause it did not give the right feel to the album cover as it is not feminine enough and does not link to idea of being able to use it as a signature of the artist.

Scriptina Pro:
This font was also a suggestion that i was going to use on my album cover. This is because the font looks light and much more feminine. However, as i am trying to appeal to both young girls and boys, this would not so much attract boys as i think the font is a bit too feminine. Also, the font is to orderly and does not portray that sense of carelessness, therefore, i did not chose it.

Billy Argel font:
This font gives the idea of the album cover being fierce and rebellious. However, i feel that it did not fit in with the genre of pop that the artist was and was more suitable for a rock or alternative music genre. Therefore, this was also not chosen for my album cover as it did not convey the right ideology or genre.
