On
http://matt2jones.deviantart.com you'll find 4 pages of a 5 page comic I'm doing, and I need a critique on how readable the font is... If anyone wants to take a look PLEASE GOD DO. Its hand-drawn, and written to the Tune of SIDEKICK by Rancid, from the Lets-Go Album.

in all seriousness

do not use that fond
both of the fonts on that page
they are horrendous
use facial expressions/symbolism/effects to get the point across
not the font
The font sucks. The art is cool, I love that style.
But next time do ink your comic, it looks better. In fact, that should be a law: ink your comics!
There's about 60 different fonts in the fucking thing, WHICH ONES FOR CHRIST SAKES?
And in future, yes I will be inking, and drawing with a H pencil regardless of what the Art Teacher told me, but this was my first attempt, and I was really afraid of fucking it up.

Good song
I always have a soft spot in my heart for Rancid... though they are a bit overplayed
yes "..out come the wolves..." was a good album but i can only hear "timebomb" and "ruby soho" so many timeS@!#$
Other than that the are is neat .... and as long as you dont use the OVERUSED "Morpheus" font or a variant we are fine
Matt you ever listen to DropKick Murphys? I see the chick has a Dead Kennedys patch on her pants... figured you might be a bit "cultured"
And leftover crack I used to like till my ex played them nonstop for weeks
The font "Comic Sans" is a good one for readability... :wink:
Man I'd s h i t my pants to be able to say ANY punk band was overplayed in Ireland. I suppose it's a blessing though from what you say
Yeah, I like what I've heard of the Dropkicks, but I find it hard to take them seriously, seeing as I am Irish, and I hate everything about the f u c k ing place. I did try to spread out the punk refernces on the Pants, Black Flag [hard core], DK[Political], TSOL[other] and Amen[Modern]...
I try to stay away from Comic Sans, because that, of all things, is OVER F U C K ING USED.
Anyway, thanks for all feedback,
Matt
here's some feedback: there is a reason they censor swear words. not to make you mad, but to keep you from making an idiot out of yourself :roll:
as for comic sans being over used, there's a reason for that to. it's the easiest font to read. Besides, it's not the font that makes your comic unique, it's the drawing style.
Mech's right; Comic Sans is used almost everywhere because it's simple, easy to read, not too blocky, and just about more or less perfect for, well, comics.
Think about it this way: If you ANY font, it's gonna be overused in some place, for some purpose. Draw in the dialogue if you're worried about it, that's about all I can say. Otherwise-- Comic Sans. :wink:
