    Font options

    Taken years ago from a hot air balloon. I made this print for a friend who is a recovering alcoholic. I've considered consigning it at the local Christian bookstore and seeing if it sells, but I am not happy with the fonts I've chosen.

    Should I invest and purchase a few professional fonts?

    I think "All is Well" Is proportioned properly, but the text looks too flat next to the image. I am not sure how to make it pop. I played with shadows and layering in PS, but it all looked somewhat gimmicky.

    The font for the verse didn't print well and its difficult to read.

    C&C welcome and appreciated.

    PS: Where can I upload this image that I can post it at its full dimensions? You'll need that to see what the fonts look like.

    EDIT: Here is the full size image. http://gallery.photographyreview.com...129211&cat=524

    Not really a fan of the picture, but fonts I'd go with a nice bold crisp font for "All Is Well" and a script font for the verse. All Is Well looks like you smooshed it down a bit and stretched it horizontally.

    I think the picture is fine for what you have in mind, and the verse is appropriate. I do think though that "All is Well" (I don't think the 'is' should be capitalised) looks rather stretched out - the font looks nice, but would be better compacted a little.

    Good luck with the venture.

    Cheers
