Website Fonts

In the mark scheme for the website it says that the website must have a range of different fonts and font sizes, this is something I was keen to look up early to make sure we have the right fonts which fit the look that we're trying to achieve. There are two websites which I'm going to use to look for fonts on, both Urban Fonts and DaFont are useful for this work.

Looking at The Futureheads previous work they mostly use block writing on there website and their CD covers as they seem to be a band that likes to keep it simple, but effective.
The large block capitals are very noticeable
Because of that we've decided we should replicate The Futureheads to make sure that it fits in with the target audience we're aiming too. Also it means it would not look out of place if it was a Futureheads website.

Amarillo Usaf
This is the first font which I feel would be suitable for our website. It's in block capitals so it'd look similar to a Futureheads font. It's a bit thinner than the font on the Futureheads website shown above but it would be either good for the navigation bar or headlines of the main site.

Atrox
This is the second font which I've looked at as a possible font for the website. It's very much like the current Futureheads font and I think it's a very good fit for a band of our genre. It stands out a bit more than the first one which is important, so it would be good for the main band name.

Blockbusted
This is another possible font for our website. I feel that this font is the font inbetween Amarillo USAF and Atrox seen above. It's bold but it's not as thick as Atrox and it is not as thin as Amarillo USAF. This personally is my favourite font of the three, and I think it would fit well on the website we're aiming to make.
