Welcome to our BLOG!!!!


The Design Of Our Blog!

Using one of the default templates on the Blogger website, we adapted some of the design elements to suit our personal preferences. We chose blue for the colour theme as we felt it to be neutral and to be complimentary to the topic. The hope for this neutral colour is to help the user to feel comfortable expressing their opinions no matter which way they go with their contributions.

We chose the Verdana font for the blog because it is a familiar one to most computer users as it is available on most document viewing/editing software. The font size seemed appropriate because it was legible on a variety of screen sizes (tested). The white font colour was chosen as it was easier to read and blends well on the blue background.

The three column page layout was selected with the sizes shown to ensure that the middle column would be bigger as a point of focus for the reader. Also by having the “About Me” and “Followers” sections on different sides of the page, this created less clutter on either side of the main ‘Posts’ sections. The three column set-up also provides symmetry to the page which is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
