Desktop wallpaper planning Part 2: Fonts

We were assigned the task to find at least 2 fonts on the website http://www.1001freefonts.com that we could use in our final wallpaper. I found fonts Claritty, Video phreak, 256 bytes and bring tha noize, but only used bring tha noize in my final idea. Below are the font styles: Video phreak was going to be used as the score/credit/lives/hiscores headings. Claritty was going to be used as the student charter font, but I decided to use the same font as the hiscores and blend it in with it, so it fit the wallpaper theme and didn't seem to just be added on. Bring tha noize was the only external font I used. I thought it looked like retro graffiti, so I thought it fit the wallpaper theme well. 256 Bytes was an alternative to Video phreak, and was going to be used as the score/credit/lives/hiscores headings. I found a font that suited the more retro and classic Space invaders font in photoshop, so neither of these were needed.
