HintsonUsingFontsandSizes
Here are a few tips from the pros.
• First, note that using too many fonts and sizes can create a loud, jumbled
look. When you watch television, notice that professional productions sel-
dom use more than a one or two styles at once.
• Combine fonts and sizes in a harmonious way,
using two sizes of one font or using distinctive
styles together. For example, when creating cred-
its, put the character’s name in one style and the
actor’s name in another.
• The smallest sizes should be reserved for minor
information such as copyright notices. Note that
they’ll besomewhat harder to read afterthey have
been recorded on videotape.
• The largest sizes are also special — save them for when you really want to
grab the viewer’s attention!
• Remember that thedoubled size optionscreate amore jagged appearance,
so they should be reserved for when you need their larger sizes or the very
tall or very wide effect.
• When applying font and size style to an entire page, if that page contains
both text and “real-time” time and/or date display, the time and or/date
displayed cannot adopt any style other than its own font (number 9, with
shadows).
