New Font Analysis


We stuck with the same font as before but added a different effect. The angular shapes that are seemingly cutting through the bold letters symbolises a disturbance within the mind of the hairdresser. It could also suggest that her insanity is episodic, allowing her to hide her obsession from the public eye. The other effect that we used was with the light, which gives off a hallucinatory quality, allowing the audience to somewhat see into the mind of the hairdresser and understand her on a deeper level through the same experiences (fantasies/hallucinations). 


For the name of the production company, we decided on this font. Being half bold suggests, again, an episodic insanity and how easily the hairdresser can unknowingly slip in and out of the two states of mind, symbolising instability. 


We changed the font of the credits to a typewriter font as we felt like it would hold more weight to the story since the previous font was too thin and looked like it could not really convey the story as well as this one. A typewriter font could suggest that the hairdresser is a perfectionist due to the fact that typewriters are much neater than if something was handwritten. As well as this, the slight slant to the font could also suggest that the hairdresser is making room in her mind for the obsession and it may soon completely take over.
