This is my first ever experience with blogging. I tried to explore all my options of designing my blog to make it represent me. To begin, I chose my background. It was not a very difficult choice after I saw the beach scene. I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted it to be my background. The beach is very important to me. I have been going there my entire life and have so many memories swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand. When I was younger, my family and I would go for our family vacations, and as I got older, I started going with my friends. The beach always bonded my family together and created so many memories for my friends and I. For me personally, the beach was always so peaceful and anytime I am stressed out, I can think back to laying in the sand, hearing the waves crashing, and feeling the sun penetrating my skin.
The next part of the design I chose were the fonts. I wanted something that was cute and girly. I knew for sure that I didn't want any plain, boring fonts that I have been using for the past six years to write all my school reports. I think the fonts that I chose are fun and original, mirroring my personality. In addition, the color scheme I chose is light blues and greens. Those are some of my favorite colors and really show who I am. My whole room at home, and my dorm room, all have that same color scheme so I felt it was appropriate to apply it to my blog as well.
The name of my blog, "My PSU Blog", shows that I am considering myself part of the Penn State community. I am officially a student at this wonderful school and feel proud to represent myself that way. Especially in a time of turmoil, it is important that the students don't lose faith and are not ashamed of being a Penn State student.
I feel that my blog is a great representation of who I am. I believe that if anyone who truly knew me went on my blog, they would know immediately that it was mine. This is evident in the beach scene that is in my background because I love to spend all my time there. It is also shown in the color scheme I chose because those are all my favorite colors. In addition, the fonts are fun and girly, like me. I am very proud of what my blog looks like. I know that since I enjoy how it looks so much, I will be more inclined to write posts on it. I hope everyone else enjoys the look of my blog as much as I do and they will want to read all that I have to share.
The background is really pretty! It's a little hard to read some of the words though because it blends with the clouds, maybe you could try a darker font! Other than that I really like it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tara that it is a little hard to read sometimes with the white on white. I love your background choice as well though and the style font that you chose to write in! I also love your title because it is very simple yet creative!
ReplyDeleteI love the background! I do agree with the above comments about the font color but the font itself is really cool. The title of your blog is also great, so simple yet has such a big meaning.
