For this assignment I thought it would be cool to design a mock webpage. In keeping with my theme from the last assignment- piano, I again tried to keep the color scheme as neutral as possible to play off the black and white colors of piano keys. I also tried to keep the background looking as much like a silhouette as possible while still keeping the location recognizable in an attempt to bring the focus to the text, specifically the call to action. The call to action I want people to draw from this image is the question featured in the quote, "That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse... what will your verse be?" This quote comes from one of my favorite movies of all time, "Dead Poet Society." I hope to evoke a sense of empowerment as the audience comes to the realization that we all have something unique to contribute in this life.
For the font, I decided to use Julius Sans One because of the thin and stylish yet bold lines. This font looks clean and easy to read while still drawing in the attention of the audience. In doing some additional reading on the origin of this font, I found it interesting that the creator and designer of this typeface drew heavily from ancient Roman style and even named it after one of Rome's most iconic leaders- Julius Caesar. Seeing as Julius Caesar is one of history's most influential and powerful leaders, I wanted to convey Caesar's sense of confidence and resolve in my call to action for all to discover what unique gifts they are capable of bringing to life's table.

I really like the feel of this webpage-- it's simple, elegant and modern. I like that the temple is noticeable in the background, but it's not the first thing the eye goes to. The image and layout are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis was very professional. The copy had a lot of space to breathe, and I liked your use of contrast. Great job.
