This honestly took up most of my day (sad, but true).<\/p>\n<p>I wanted the title to reflect upon the story&#8217;s main character (Duncan) and his dilemma (recovering his lost memories) in the new title while keeping a nice Fantasy Adventure (RPG, Treasure, etc) flavor to the title. I think <em>Treasure of Memories<\/em> can be read several different ways and really works well. In addition, it matches the past naming convention of <em>Journey of Illusion<\/em> and <em>Ocean of Time<\/em> with a three word title. The acronym also works out to ATM, which is great and easy to remember. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Finding a font to capture the Arvale feeling was just as much work. Keeping the fantasy feel without being archaic or using gothic fonts, having a light-hearted feeling without being too cartoony is difficult to balance. It also helped in finalizing the title between Memory and Memories (the Y in memory would cross over the R which looked bad). The R in &#8216;Arvale&#8217; crossing over the F in &#8216;of&#8217; was pure coincidence but I think it&#8217;s a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p>A few really useful tools I found for testing fonts are the STC font browser: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stcassociates.com\/lab\/fontbrowser.html\">here<\/a> Which let&#8217;s you type in a phrase and test it out quickly with any installed fonts on your computer (if you&#8217;re a graphic designer, you no doubt already have thousands and it much faster than prototyping in Photoshop). The other was the font browser on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfonts.com\/browse\/category\/myfonts\/script\/\">myfonts.com<\/a> this allows you to type in your phrase and then view it in every font they have available.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; what do you think? Do you like the title? I sure do \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After racking my brain for different titles for several months, I finally decided on a name (and a font).
