Blog Design

We devoted a lot of time and effort into the thought process of the overall design and display of our blog. Initially, we conversed about the different blog sites we could have used. After researching over three different sites for blogging, we decided that blogger.com was a more impressive and unique site than the others. After creating each of the individual descriptions for the quotes and pictures, we inputted our work into a certain template that best fit the overall theme of Edgar Allan Poe’s literature. Our font and color choice was very precise due to the gothic and mysterious theme our project was based upon. In the same way, white is very plain color but can be misleading, mysterious and frightening towards the eye. The background design appears spooky such as the common setting of the realm of Poe’s world. We thought that the quotes attached to the beginning of our blog set the stage for the general concept of what our project is based on. Likewise, we believe the pictures that we used for the different quotes presented in each short story read in class truly reveal what is meant to be said in each story. In conclusion, this blog site was easily accessible. The choices we made towards the blog design all were within reason of the embracing topic. Edgar Allan Poe is a very rare, yet astonishing man and we think that we were able to capture his overall message towards society.
