Assignment 1: Revisited

It's the time of the year when you have to work on refining your work! And I am back with Assignment 1 first. Though I said the improved piece should be the final one in my Feb post. I decided to try out more fonts to see if that was really good enough to portray the kind of feelings I want to. Tried some 'horror' fonts with all the blood trails and drips. But it ain't nice! Making the whole poster seems like a horror flick and not surreal. So I tried some other 'cleaner' fonts (without the blood drips):



At first it looks fine to me. But the more I look at it the more it doesn't fit into the theme. It is not distorted enough to fulfill the feel for surrealism. So I continue to try out other fonts and I finally got one that I thought had this complete feel of distortion. And the best part is the 'A' and the 'M' looks like fingers and claws. They complement the evil red hands. It's not too distorted till you can't see the words like the very first poster. I went to ask around for opinions. Though there are some who likes the first font more (very first try) but I guess readability in posters are just as important. So this is decided to be the final one.
