Initial Typography Ideas

This typography was appealing due to the top of the letters being cut off and tilted, this emphases the tilt in the relationship and how there are two sides in a domestic violence relationship. Also how the antagonist takes most of the control showing that it is unequal by the line splitting at the top, the antagonist is represented by the larger proportion. This typography is clear and simple to read.  

These two typography ideas reminded us of a child's scribble, this could relate to the child in the storyline, describing his parents relationship. the outline shows there is some stability and the scribble in the letters suggest that the child is confused by what is going on. This typographys are not bold enough  and would not stand out clearly on a poster, the website or on a DVD sleeve.
This again suggests confusion or strain on the relationship, relating to the storyline. It is bold and is eye catching, but we think it is too fussy.
We liked the way some of the letters are tilted, however this font feels too 'fun' and domestic violence is a serious matter, therefore would not fit with the style of the storyline. Also the merged letters could make confusion for people when reading.
This typography is simple and the grey/lilac colour fits with the title and Jenny Holzer's work. It reminds us of a stencil and they are often used by children.
This calligraphic style could suggest that the storyline is an account or true story, which would fit well with the social realist genre of the film, due to the hand writting.


This was our favourite due to the breaks in the letters, showing the breaks and damage in the relationship of the characters. The typography is easy to read and bold.
