Header Sample


Here is a sample of a header I might use.

I have yet to confirm fonts & colour schemes with my client, but I think if he sees the fonts/colours I was thinking of together he might be more convinced.

I will make more examples for him to consider.


For my actual project, I think I will take the photos of the paper myself [photos taken by me can be found on my Flickr account. i may or may not put a link here when i get home seeing as i cannot actually get on to flickr]

Font Research

By going through Photoshop and comparing different fonts, I have managed to narrow down the fonts I want to use. I now have to meet with my client to discuss which fonts I should use.
Frankin Gothic Heavy - This font is clear, bold and simple. I think it will work as a direct contrast to the grungy, ripped paper background and navigation bar I have in mind.
Gill Sans MT -Much like the previous font, this is simple and clear, it is not as bold so would be a good font for body text.
Veranda - This is another simple and clear font, which will work well with contrast.
Armalite Rifle - The grungy look is what I origninally had in mind, this font could be good for the header as it stands out yet would fit in with the ripped up paper look.
Broken 15 - This is also grungy but it is a little small so would not be easy to read. I might consider this for a header.

Progress Update on Poverty Website Project

Hey blog,
I've just finished my brief & gantt chart. I'm still not sure as to what font and what not I want to use, but after some research, I will be.

Have a great day blog.
