Initial Title Graphics Designs

As part of my research into titles and title graphics, I decided to come up with a design in order to ascertain the difficulty involved in different aspects of design, and to get a better feel for the look of our trailer. The title used is only a working title, as 'Two Evils' gives the title a slightly more horror-style feel, which is not something we are looking for.

This first attempt I think can be said to be one of varying success, but it may well influence our final design.

There was another attempt before this, however this was attempted using Illustrator rather that Photoshop, and using the Rockwell Extra Bold font suggested by Joe in his graphics research. My knowledge of Illustrator is limited, and I was attempting to get some sort of smoke or cracking effect on the backdrop. The colour scheme is along the correct lines but other than this, very few aspects of this titlecard are successful. This altogether less successful initial design can be seen here, in the wrong aspect ratio, in the name of showing the full process of my designing endeavours.
