Post #2: Design Justification

I believe this blog should personify my character and embrace my style both professionally and personally. Through intentional color schemes and pleasing fonts, I coordinated my blog layout to match my creativity, ambition, and thought processes. My background is a watercolor image of flowers, the simplistic art that watercolors allude and the peaceful sense from the flowers work well together as a platform for my work. The background withholds various shades of blue which ¨stimulate clear thought...calm the mind and aid concentration” (“Psychological Properties of Colors). The majority of my blog is painted with hues of blue and purple, but there is also a minute pigment of yellow, a color which “can also be associated with mental clarity and intellect” (“Color Meaning and Symbolism”). All of the elements in my blog layout contribute to its overall tone and the themes that I will aim to convey in my work.
