I was inspired by the deep purple colored dress that is seen in my profile picture, so I found a background that displayed a similar color. The purple that is seen in the background is lighter and more faded than the dress in my picture, creating a more dated look. I used a shade of periwinkle for the title font since the color periwinkle is part of the title. In addition, periwinkle ties all the colors of the blog together as it is a blend between purple and blue. This specific background captures a vintage, antique feel as the background image is an old, worn-out envelope. The French words and the stamps of the Eiffel Tower convey my love of Paris and my love of travel. The demode appearance respresents my appreciation for the traditional form: a truely timeless style.
The title font is called "Homemade Apple", it resembles someone's cursive handwriting and works well with the background of the letter, establishing a warm and inviting mood. It is not too formal as it appears to look like it was casually written by someone. The font used on the majority of the page is called "Courier", it resembles typed print. It contrasts the bold cursive style script through its simplicity and lightness. Because the bio is a larger chunk of text, I chose a more basic style font to ensure readibility. This font also embodies a more modern look as it looks like it is clearly typed and not handwritten. This choice of font was made to offset the traditional style that would otherwise be overwhelming; if this were interior design, I would call my style transitional (in between modern and traditional).
