Design Inspiration Continued

Continuing on from my post about my design inspiration what I have always enjoyed is a texture ruffled type image. I searched for the right background to use for my blog and I chose a blue texture ruffled background. First I chose the color blue because In my opinion i feel like the color blue is one of the three main colors involved with the NBA along with red and white. Next, like I said i wanted a ruffled look for my background because that is a good attention-getter for the reader. The reason why I like the ruffled type look textured background is because it gives it a ocean waves type feel and In my opinion that is the best type of background to use. Any project or anything for fun I usually use a textured look background.

 

Typographic Inspiration

The type of text that inspired me to create my blog is a bold font so that the title of my blog would catch people's attention along with the 'Impact' type font that is offered on blogger as one of the options. The font is in 60 pt and the reason why that particular font inspired me is because i wanted a font that looked fun and comical along with being easily to read. I made the color of the main title font to be white against a black background so it will be again easily readable.

The page text is in 14 pt and is in the 'Cherry Cream Soda' font that is offered in blogger. That font interests me quite a bit because the font is more easily readable and i think it is one of the best fonts that is offered through blogger simply for your page text. My tabs text is regular with the font being 'Ariel' and being in 14 pt. As well as my post titles are in the 'Ariel' type font being a little bigger at 22 pt so that the title post stands out to the readers viewing my blog. The date font is also in Ariel and is a smaller 11 pt because although the date is important it is not necessarily the most focused thing on my blog page.
