Font

The final font I chose was:
I chose this font because I saw it as a mixture of different rock band fonts. I saw that it had the ink-like look that Royal Blood have. The text is also a bit rough round that helps convey the genre, this is also supported by the use of capital letters that also indicate the rock genre.
The font also represents the Arctic Monkeys logo, as again it is all in capital letters, but this time the font is more playful. This is represented in my font as the letters are bold and have almost a youthful, handwritten look. The Arctic Monkeys logo has waves running through the font to make it stand out, representing the band's image. My font stands out on its boldness and roughness. Thus, my font is based on both these two fonts: the ink-like approach and caps by Royal Blood, and the playfulness and boldness of the Arctic Monkeys.

Font

My inspiration for my final font choice has come from several different rock bands, past and present. First of all, The Strokes, whose song we are preforming, have really good font that depicts the genre easily. I feel the colours work well together, as it enables the band's name to stand out. The font itself, has connotations of a retro, indie band; this is something I wouldn't mind emulating.
The Beatles' font is also inspirational. It is all in caps, which makes it stand out and also helps to convey the genre. The use of colour also contributes to the effect of the font. The traditional black and white, allows for the text to stand out. There is also a clear retro feel to this font.
Mallory Knox's font conveys a different sort of rock. The band are more heavy metal compared to The Strokes or The Beatles, thus this has had an effect on their font. I like the way that their are cracks in the font, which helps to distinguish the genre. The colours are dark, contrasting that of pop, also conveying the genre. The caps help the text to stand out, and is something I am interested in.
I looked on DaFont and found these three fonts that I liked.

 The first is more of a garage look, whilst the other two are more of a retro style. Texts one and two are not in caps, unlike the top one. I think I would like to keep searching for one that combines the two.
