I love this movie and just think this poster is so cool. If you look closely it is made up of cards to put together the Joker. A lot of cool things one can do with graphics!
I compiled a list of website that offer free font downloads. Each of the below images links to a website with at least 15 other options (one actually has 1001). There are a lot of fun fonts out there…just make sure whichever one you pick is READABLE.
Good luck!

While for searching how to create a smoke effect for my poster, I found this website with tutorials on how to create tons of typefaces from 3D effects to copying the the font from the star wars movie. These fonts are all created in photoshop and give a step by step tutorial process with pictures and detailed descriptions to create a type more interesting and more graphic than those offered in InDesign. These tutorials make fonts not just type but pieces of art that can be intertwined with your image. Hope these tutorials are as helpful to you guys as they were to me.
In the link we looked at in class, you had to pay to make your own font.. If anyone was interested, I just found a website that will do it for free!
(Click on the yourfonts link about halfway down the page.)
Fontifier lets you use your own handwriting for The text you write on your computer.
It turns a scanned sample of your handwriting into a handwriting font that you can use
in your word processor or graphics program, just like regular fonts such as Helvetica.
The book for our class, Thinking with Type, is a great resource. But for quick references and those days that you forget to bring the book, you can access the book’s website here.. It gives quick definitions on things like kearning and tracking, gives examples of good fonts/how to spot fonts that aren’t family, and even let’s you play a dating game based on fonts (holla).
Can’t find the perfect font? Dafont.com has tons and tons to choose from. Really.
So this is a relatively funny video that pokes humor at typography:
