Album Cover Font


The matter of choosing the font for Rosie May's album cover has been a complicated one. At first our group wanted to use an art nouveau/art deco font, similar to Amy Winehouse's font and the Park Lane NF font below. We also thought that we might use a font similar to the Great Gatsby film's, however everyone will know these fonts already and link them to already existing media products and artists. Therefore, when our group viewed Beyonce's music video 'Why Don't You Love Me?' we found our preferred and original, unlinked font. The start of the video introduces Beyonce as a 1950s housewife and the title of the song. The font that appealed to us is used to write the word 'love' below: 


It was extremely challenging to find the exact font that is used in the video, however, I have done a thorough job of researching around 1950s/60s fonts of this nature, which are shown below. Our group will now have to choose one of these potential fonts for our album cover.
