From the feedback i got from Sinead, i started to look on www.Dafont.com for some font styles for our album name 'Uncovered'. As we all felt that the album name being quite simple would look professional and classy along with the fancy artist name typography, i researched into the Basic fonts. Researching into pop artist albums, many of their typography font styles are very basic and simple. They don't even consist of logo's due to their name being consistent in every album and being recognisable. Therefore i think there will be no need of us creating a Logo as most Pop artists don't have one as they have their name being as a trademark.

I found a range of fonts that we quite liked and created a questionnaire on which one was the best for our album. I gave the questionnaire out in our Media Mac room as here there will be media students and will have a greater understanding of typography and genre's and which is well suited for each genre. The questionnaire was handed out to 16 people between the ages of 16 and 25. We recorded the results in a tally chart and it made it easier for us to conclude which font style is better.

From the results we found that the Roboto by Google Android Design was the best font style for our pop genre album. Megan and Hayley agreed with this font working well and suiting our genre and music album. However Aaron and i feel that the Futurist fixed-width by WSI font looks better and gives a greater impact due to the spacing. I told Sinead about this and she said its fine if some of us prefer a different font to another in our group as we will all design our digipaks differently due to them being constructed individually.
I really like the first font style as i feel that the spacing looks really classy and professional and expresses the pop genre. It also reminds me of Rihanna's album 'Loud'.
Megan came up of an idea of the 'U' and the 'C' in 'Uncovered' being capital letters would look good, so i experimented with this style of type on both of our preferred font style. However i don't feel like it works well as it looks a bit odd and strange giving the title a French element which will confuse our target audience.
