Contrasts
|
| You can inadvertently create conflict in your
design if you are using two different typefaces that are similar,
but not different enough to stand apart from each other. Line
weights and borders should also be chosen with an eye to the
thickness of the type.

|
The words, "full of sound
and fury" are in a different type face. This could easily
be seen as an accident from the viewer's point of view.
|
 |
You can see the small differences
in these two type faces by looking closely at the "a,"
the "t," and the "s." The are similar
but not the same. The border weight is too light compared
to the type or the lines. Nor are they in great enough contrast.

There are two different types
of script fonts on this design. Also check out the different
ornaments. The overall effect is junky and random.
