When creating my poster, I researched what fonts are typically used for crime dramas. I discovered that they were commonly fairly simple yet aggressive looking, and one particular website recommended helvetica. I experimented with a few before deciding helvetica created the almost perfect look I was aiming for. To improve it I made it bold to make it stand out more.
The blue tint I added to my poster (due to the fact the morgue scene was filmed using a blue gel) meant a black font didn't quite work. I changed it to white and lowered the opacity, creating more of a theme. I absolutely loved this and therefore decided to use it for the colour theme of my DPS. I also used helvetica for every bit of font of the page for the sake of continuity.
In terms of the final layout of my heading, this was decided from general reading of magazines in my spare time. I found it in magazines such as Wavelength. Albeit they weren't film magazines, I decided bring over the idea as they share similar target audiences. The layout of the letters took a surprisingly long time to attempt to place them all correctly using the grid.
