Before/After
Before/After
In this lesson we experimented with brushes and photo filters and learnt how to use burn and dodge tools. We learned where to download brushes (www.brusheezy.com) and their importance in your work. Even a small change could completely change the mood of a photo.
Font Research
We had the task to find a font for this image. I decided to use this font as it looks unnaturally broken, almost as if something had been able to rip it in half. Something that we are so used to being solid being broken causes a sense of unease. I think it not being too noticeable adds to the unease as it goes undetected unless you're really examining it.
I enjoy junkohanhero's work on distorted fonts as I think it fits the horror genre. Horror fonts are usually portrayed with scratches, forcefully written scribbles or bloody letters. They can look decrepit, full of cobwebs, spiky and unkept.
Whenever words are used fonts play a crucial role in bringing the project to life, as different fonts can have significantly different meanings. Fonts like the ones described above can be used for horror while fonts like comic sans wouldn't quite work in instilling fear within the viewer.
