Choosing Fonts: Styles and Colours

So, I was walking to college, planning out on what I had to do today when I realised I haven't even thought about what font I'm going to use.

I looked through all of them and shortlisted 4 of them.

Bank Gothic 

Bell MT Regular

Didot Italic

Modern no 20 Regular

I added the blocks of white to the photo as a background for the text as I think it's easier to read as there's a mix of light and dark all over this photo. 

Looking at these, I like Modern no 20 Regular the most, just because it's not too fussy but not boring. It has the right balance of practical and classy, just like a makeup artist!

I got thinking, what would the same layout look like with white text on a background?

I think I like the white text on black more but in my opinion. I think the white just washes it all out whereas the black frames it and really draws out the darker points.

I'll look at different fonts for the smaller text I use to write up the interviews.
