I have passed my design around and decided to focus a lot more on the Anxious Alligator story. So I felt I should research and practise into some other fonts that would compliment the look on the front cover of my picture book and also keep the theme of simplicity and cartoon like. I went onto dafont.com for all of my fonts as I have previously seen some really good fonts that will compliment against my designs, I am including the “Ice Age” font as a consideration however my analysis of that isn’t in this post as its in the previous one.

The first font I downloaded was “Cute Cartoon”. This font stood out to me as its very different, without using too much detail. However, compared to my alligator design, I feel as if it doesn’t match the style of my book. I also feel like each letter is quite narrow and it doesn’t fill out the front cover as much as I want it too. However I do like the coloured outline and keeping a transparent/ white fill on the each letters.

I really like this typeface. Its called “Orange Juice” and I really like how its fit on the page. I feel it compliments the design of the alligator and it stands out a lot without complicating the text. It also keeps the element of the white fill and letting the outlines stand out. To improve I think I need to make each letter have a bit more space between each other, to avoid any overlapping of the letter. I think if I was to choose this font I will have to look into another font for the writing inside the book depending on how much I plan on writing in the story as its very bold.

This font is called “Dimbo”, I downloaded it originally as I thought it was very bold and it would go well with my design. As I think it would be suitable for the cover and the inside of the book. I really like the shape of each letter and how its slightly crooked, I feel that this font would be very practical for my demographic and it doesn’t out stand the design.

This typeface is actually called “The Childrens Book”. I really do like this font in terms of style and the space it takes up on the page. However I feel as if I should go for something a little more unique and different as when looking at this design I do feel like I have seen it before. I also think the outline is too thin, and when its next to the animation its actually quite hard to read as there is a lot of white space.
