Typography Journal Entry #5

Something Spooky. Nice lettering. Makes it seem really old fashioned.

All caps works well for the band, Alternative. Slight distortion also gives it a grunge feel. Usually, however, using all caps doesn't work well for messages. One's eye can't flow as easily through all capitals, as the mind is not used to it. Hierarchy in dominance. The bold numbers help to break up the information. In this case, the names of the different tracks. Used here is right alignment,  which is usually difficult and not as commonly used. It's a little... strange, and gives a general feeling of oddity. However, that also fits the band's genre. Alternative is usually focused on forms of music that are unique and viewed as different or experimental. Alternative is a genre category usually given to bands who music does not fit into the main genres such as rock, pop, metal, classical, etc.
