The Deaths of Ian Stone


This is the heading for the movie "The Deaths of Ian Stone." It is a horror which seems to be emphasized in the typography. It has a very grunge look to it and somewhat looks like blood splatter, which is what I'm sure the designer is after. I saw it quite recently when my dad sent me the dvd in the post, and after enjoying watching the film I found the typography of the film's title very effective. The typeface as quite a tall sans serif which is emphasized by the grunge look and the contrasting colours. Even though the grungey look gives the typorgraphy a dirty look it still seems quite clean and precise, this supported by the san serifs and the contrast between the colours and  the white background. I was attracted to the piece because im a big fan of horror movies and grungey style of artwork, so i guess these two together seem to work really well and I think its just fantastic. I have always been a fan of red and black used together to represent anything dark and scary.
