The reasoning behind why I chose orange for the color of my blog is that it's bright and lighthearted, just like I want this blog to be. Sometimes blues and grays can bring someone's mood down and make them sad, which is certainly not like me. I want this blog to reflect some of the positive things about myself, my energy, being happy. Not to mention the color scheme works well with my photo, and it's always nice to have different visual aspects come together while still being aesthetically pleasing. My fonts are "Coming soon" and "Georgia." Georgia is the more commonly used font, because it's easy to read, looks professional, and doesn't take the focus off the words. My titles and headers are in Coming Soon, as it's more fun and playful, much like the rest of my blog aesthetic, without being too much, per say. As well as this, the titles being in white makes the words stand out against their background more than they might in a different color. Overall, I believe that the layout of this blog is a good visual representation of the mood I am trying to create.
