One of the biggest lessons in online communication is that how you say something is just as important as what you’re saying. With that in mind, I made some strategic choices for this blog.
Firstly, I chose to name this blog Literature Connoisseur, not because I am overconfident about my English abilities, but because my name Rashika actually means connoisseur. It only felt fitting to keep this definition and see how this AP Literature course will help me truly reach that status of ‘Literature Connoisseur”
I chose a dark purple shade for the background of my blog because it has a more formal look and simultaneously adds a pop of color, without looking too ‘stiff.’ I wanted to convey a youthful, modern look while also appearing sophisticated, which is why I avoided bright, neon colors. For the typography I chose the Walter Turncoat font for the post title to deliver a cooler, more exciting message on the page. While keeping those modern touches, I chose IM FELL DW PICA SC for the blog title because I wanted the capital letters to be a bit dramatic, and I felt like the typography’s ‘classic’ look fit with the topic of discussion – literature.
For the layout, I chose to embed the blog posts in between two side bars to keep the information more sectioned and conveniently accessible. I also adjusted the width of the entire blog to fit the entire screen so that it can literally consume the viewer’s space and emphasize the content. The slight map background in the layout demonstrates global awareness to a certain extent, which speaks for the author's worldliness and this literature class, where “we examine the people of the world.”
