Fun with Font Types

 Fonts can result in a change in the overall feel of a media outlet with a sans serif font being more professional and clean with its overall look. However a sans font will have more curls and in general be more ascetically pleasing with there look also they can show a older font type or a flowing font.

With the Courier font sans serif font type the font makes the reader imagine a typewriter and gives off a more straight to the point look.

However when the Sans font type in the image is used it makes the reader feel like this document is more official and traditional.

The more curled form of the Sans font type is often more difficult to read and not used commonly as of late this is also an more fluent type of text with a flowing joinment.

Historical and Cultural Context in Media

 

This is a poster that shows the beetles band crossing a road. The image features the traditional London cars. The Historical Context of this poster shows the ideal street of the time with a simple bold san seraph text in the top right hand corner. It also features the band in more recognisable clothing of the era. It also shows the stereotypical boy band. It also shows the slight movement of the time for a more green way of life with the trees.

The poster shows the divide of the rich and poor in the United Kingdom with the left side of the street having more high end housing and with the band choosing to be in the middle of the street this can show them trying to cater for both the groups in their fanbase. However, the way they are walking towards the right shows there leaning towards the poorer peoples.

This Polish poster shows the polish culture with the view of the Palace of Culture and Science located in the mans head. This shows the polish culture with the famous polish building in Warsaw. The man in the suit shows the polish workers that have immigrated and are seen as hard workers.

The caption dwaj lndzie z miasta which translates to two people from the city. This can link with the polish acquirements of much of eastern Germany at the end of the 2nd World War, with the link being formed by the fact there was a sudden change of many ethnic Germanic peoples living in a polish state, this has lead to some issues with the people in these areas identifying with the polish culture group or the Germanic culture group.
