Our Future Blog Design

Designing a blog is often one of the most difficult and arduous tasks. As we are short on time, we have decided to select a pre-made template that we feel is minimalistic - largely because we wish to get our point across as quickly and easily as possible. In addition, colour selection is important. Given that we have chosen to blog about our pet hates and annoying habits, red seemed to be one of the most fitting colours for displaying anger. However, a simple block red is a little bit too confronting for the reader. As you can see from our storyboard, we have chosen a burgundy colour that is complemented by the muted grey tones. In order to fulfill the assignment requirements, we have to select a colour other than black for our text. This is highly restrictive, as a blog exists to be read and other colours are difficult to discern. For this reason, we felt it would be best to go with a deep grey text colour.

The design of the logo keeps in line with the minimalistic theme displayed throughout, while aptly conveying the general theme of the blog to the reader. The assignment brief also states that we must have our "About Me" section on the right-hand side and this stipulation is one of the major factors in our consideration of blog layout. Essentially, we feel it is important to ensure the design of the blog is simple and easy to navigate, as this will entice readers to stay focused on the blog content.
