In our next lesson we talked about fonts and how important they are. We talked about serif fonts and sans fonts. Sans fonts are better for title’s and something you see from far away. Any sans font works for something you see from far away. Sans font however is not that good or appropriate for long bits of text, it’s not that clear to read. Serif fonts are not good for posters or titles, but work better for long masses of text because they are easier to read then.

We learnt about how to download different fonts and also make fonts appropriate for whatever we are trying to advertise or talk about.
A good site to download fonts from is http://www.1001freefonts.com/

In The picture on the left the font there is an army font which makes you think that whatever is going on in this poster is something to do with the army of being in control as in a leader. It is a little worn away and grungy. This gives the idea that this font is hard so whatever it is talking about is a strong thing (in this case it is suggesting that Obama is a strong presidential character.)

The colour of the text is also important, the colours in the image are red, white and blue which are the symbols for America. In this picture they are saying that Obama is a symbol for America.
