More Visual Language Research

Text

In my production i need to include text formatted graphics to enhance my video and the message that is being put across. In order to do this i looked at font faces in order to choose the best one for my video. Here are a few examples...

"I have a Dream" - Verdana


"I Have a Dream" - Trebuchet


"I Have a Dream" - Courier


"I Have a Dream" - Georgia 


After looking at these faces i thought these ones were ok, but the font face i actually decided to go with was Helvetica. The reason i chose this font face was because its easy to read, has a nice visual format on dark backgrounds and makes it subtle and isn't to in your face. Subtle is what im trying to go for, i dont want it looking like the text is just slapped on over the top because then the whole video looses authenticity. 


"I Have a Dream" - Helvetica 


As you can see Helvetica is a nice font face, very subtle and not to over the top.
