Headlines, logos, t-shirt prints, and posters: what do they all have in common? They all need to make a great impact on audiences upon first glance. You want them to be noticed instantly, to make heads turn and draw in a crowd. To accomplish this, you need the right elements.
This is where typefaces come in. Bold, thick fonts convey power, strength, and most of all, impact. That, along with the correct use of color, size, as well as images, can engage people at first sight.
