I began by choosing a template. I liked the template that displayed a picture behind the words, and I particurally liked the picture of an antique looking house. From there, I customized the colors and the fonts. I didn't want the reader to be distracted by the picture in the background, so I made the background opaque. The color red is proven to stimulate the brain and get people to really think, so I chose a dark red for the background color, and a gray to complement it (Cherry).
With the maroon background and antique house picture, my blog conveys a more sophisticated, 'elegant' message. I chose my fonts accordingly. The header (AP Literature) is in a fun font, to bring the audience in, but it is not illegible. The font in my blog posts is different; I chose a font that looks like the font of a typewriter--sticking with the antique, elegant theming. The colors, picture, and font in my blog all work together to create a blog that looks serious yet intriguing to the eye.
