Research and Planning: Typography for Ancillary

What is Typography?

1. Art techniques of font design.

2. Communicate meaning through font.


In creating the album cover for Amy’s ghost it is essential that we study a wide range of typefaces and fonts in order to establish the correct one for Amy’s Ghost and us. Type faces helps to create the iconography that the group would want to create with their album artwork.

To begin we went back to basics and looked at how each letter is formed in order to establish what makes letters unique.



From my last blog post on Typography we have decided to change the top two fonts we could use.

Font 1:

Amy’s Ghost   Victim of the Mind


Font 2:

Amy’s Ghost   Victim of the Mind


Both these fonts create a somewhat antique aged look but where one is bold and sharp the other is soft and flowing. The two fonts would meet the direction the band is heading in terms of the aesthetic look, the final decision will be made and tested on the finished album artwork.
