011 - Font Activity Poster Example

The document provides instructions for an assignment to design posters using different fonts. It includes 4 poster prompts and questions to answer for each poster about the chosen font, reasons for selection, and comments on spacing (kerning) and alignment. Two sample posters are described: Poster #1 uses the IMPACT font in all capital letters to convey authority and warning for a biohazard area. Poster #2 uses the Bahaus font with rounded edges for a fun, less serious cupcake sale sign.

Poster #1:
I chose the font IMPACT

I used this font because it was a STRONG font. It looks


like a font that is very authoritative and very warning. I
BIOHAZARD: also used ALL CAPITALS so that people could realize it’s
really serious and important.
ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ALLOWED IN
THIS AREA. I chose this kerning because the close letters help show its
seriousness.

Poster #2:

Cupcakes
I chose the font Bahaus

I used this font because it was looked fun. The rounded


edges made was good to sell cupcakes because it wasn’t
too serious. I made the font big to emphasize the cost

$3 since it was cheap.

This kerning is wide...makes the sign look less serious.
