Blog Post #1: Decisions, Decisions.

     "Remember that you and I made this journey together to a place where there was nowhere left to go.”   - The Namesake

     Interestingly enough, this quote from The Namesake inspired me to choose this design. The grey birds flying toward the top of the screen are a representation of my journey towards becoming a better writer and reader, doctor, and beyond.

     The essential goal of my blog is to be attractive and engaging for the average passerby. This is achieved through the dreamy tone employed by the design. Viewers are greeted by a pale khaki background with flying birds, displaying not only professionalism, but also creativity and open-mindedness. Being entirely brought up in California is a critical component of my personality, and thus "Musings of a California Girl" was created. The color of the blog titles is a bright, cheery red, but the majority of the text is black and white in order to be easily read.

     Further, much thought went into choosing the couple fonts displayed on the web page. A script, diary-like font is applied for the main headings and titles, providing an informal and relatable mood. Employing a handwriting style font is a refreshing touch in that it gives the illusion of the blog post actually being a diary entry of sorts. The rest of the blog, however, is in Arial, a traditional font to maintain professionalism and allow the reader to focus entirely on the content of the blog post versus a crazy curvy font.
