Font design for our horror opening
After we settled upon the title of ‘the deluge’ for our horror film, we decided we needed a suitable font to represent the tone our opening was trying to take. Due to the death of a character in a bath, water was a constant theme throughout the film, with many others dying from being drowned as well. We needed a font that would fit well with this constant theme. I decided to use the sites 1001fonts.com and dafont.com to find suitable fonts. After I've found some suitable designs I intend to alter them in Photoshop to tweak them to a design that would be perfect for our project.
Fonts from dafont.com
Font 1: children should not play with dead things
This font is particularly effective at fitting with the theme of our horror opening, as it appears to have some sort of liquid dripping from the words. The rounded edges and uneven shapes can be linked to water itself, making this font a good choice for our project

Font 2: plasma drip
plasma drip would make a good font type to use for our horror opening. Its bubbly edges represent flowing water very well and fits with the theme of our film. Much like the previous font ‘ children should not play with dead things’, this font also has water dripping off of the letters, further tying in with the theme of water.

Font 3: raptor kill
the font of raptor kill is both a good and bad font to use for our film opening. It successfully signifies water by having it drip from the letters. But on the other hand the letters aren’t defined and are quite hard to read. This is a problem due to the title ‘the deluge’ being odd, and it’s essential that people know what it is. This is one of the fonts I would consider choosing for the title of our horror opening.

Font 4:DuerTWOo
To achieve the desired effect on this font design I wrote out tHE DeLuGe, instead of ‘the deluge’. I did this because it gave a far better effect, and made the font look far more ominous and chilling. The fonts main style looks a lot like its in the style of watercolour brushstrokes, which fits in very well with the theme of our horror film.
Font 5: dink
While this font doesn’t really represent water in any way, It does signify insanity very well. It achieves this by having larges cracks throughout the E letters. This would be fitting for the general plot of the our film, but would be a bad representation of our opening, which has very little to do with insanity, only water
Another good post. Can you put an example of the font on there? Perhaps a print-screen if the computer won't let you download them?
