Blog Post #1 (design choices)

                  At first glance, I wanted the viewer of my blog to see a fresh, simple design. I also tried to combine feelings of excitement with serenity. To communicate this, I chose orange and green as the page's main color scheme.  Green symbolizes "tranquility, good luck, and health" while orange ties in "enthusiasm and warmth." Together, with brown and red undertones, I had hoped the reader would feel a sort of ancient charm.  My blog's background (crumbling book covers) taps into the more obvious subject of the blog while simultaneously tying into its color scheme.
                  As for the blog's text, I decided on a more artistic, brush-stroke-looking title.  I wanted it to be something that would pull in viewers while also being legible enough to give them the information.  For section titles and footers, I went with Merriwether-classic and formal, yet just the right amount of flair. As a whole, I feel that my basic color and text choices blend to create a balanced and enthusiastic environment.
