Typefaces:
Brioso Pro, Arial Black, Helvetica
For the event name I used the font Brioso Pro. I felt that the font was fun, but definitely still very readable. This serif font helped me to convey the fun but professional feeling of the event. For the navigation bar I used the font Arial Black. As a bold sans serif font, it stands out but remains easy to read. For the body of the website I used Helvetica. The movie we watched in class, for one, completely convinced me that Helvetica was one of the most widely used easily read fonts ever created. I felt that the level of readability of the typeface was what I wanted in my website. There are also many variations to choose from.
Besides the Brioso Pro, the fonts that I used were pretty basic. The reason behind that is because I feel that websites, due to readability and compatibility issues use more mainstream fonts. I understand that we were allowed to branch out, but I wanted the website to seem as legitimate as possible.
Visuals:
For the navigation bar, I used erasers as tabs, crumpled paper as the background and the pencil as a logo. I used these school supplies to make the website fun and also relevant. I found pictures from both the Youth Day BBQ current website and Google throughout the design.
I really like this website. The first thing that stuck out to me was the photos, all of which really captured the cause of the event and the event itself. The second thing I really like was the nav bar, which are the erasers, and perfectly compliment the event and site as a whole. The pages themselves are also very comprehensible and make this design look like it can be a real website! Fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteThe background of crumpled paper is what caught my eye first. Then it was the pencil under the headline. This website is VERY creative and I love how you made sure each page connected to the school theme. All your pictures served a purpose and your website is very well done.
ReplyDeleteThe background of your website is so creative. I immediately was drawn to this website. It is very cute and is very appealing to women. The notepaper background is very different and it is connected to the school theme. OVerall great job.
