Font and colour testing for website
- 1. Font and colour testing for my magazine’s website Brighton On the Beach Magazine
- 2. Fonts for possible headers • I have used two different types of fonts for the main title and subheading, which is present on my home page. I like the black and white style as it is very easy to see as it stands out. • I have used the font ‘Georgia’ as it has a classy feel to it, and has a quite old fashioned style. • The second font is called ‘American Typewriter’ and I feel that this is a good font to use for this type of • I feel that these types of fonts work well together, also highlighted by the black makes the fine style of the font easier to read as it stands out much more effectively. I feel that it adds to the classy look of the website.
- 3. Headers • I have looked through the possible titles that I can choose from for my website, there is a large choice available. I have picked out as few in which would work well displayed on the website which match my vintage lifestyle theme.
- 4. The header • I have experimented with different colours and thought that the orange was the best suited for my portraying my magazine. I like the orange against this background and photograph because I feel that it matches the natural brown colours present. It also stands out from the background, and also jumps out at the reader viewing the page.
- 5. Fonts for captions/pieces of text • I have used the font ‘Georgia’ for my paragraphs because I feel that it has an outdated kind of presentation, which would fit with my vintage theme, and also is very easy to read and see against the background as it will be black on white. I have used a font called ‘American typewriter’ because I feel that it portrays a vintage feel to my whole website. It also compliments my other typewriter font which I have used before on this page.
- 6. Photos and colour scheme • I will keep the colour scheme and colours quite colourful, and also making some part of the website to stand out, where needed. • I think that I am going to be using some of my own photography for some of my backgrounds, in which I will make transparent so that you can see the other content such as the writing on the page. • I will use a lot of blue as the backgrounds will be based on the beach and I will use a lot of blue tones to link my magazine with the sea and the beachy areas of Brighton.
- 7. Background images I will be using This is the picture for the main homepage of my website. It is also going to appear as the front cover for my magazine as it is quite an iconic structure which catches the reader's eye as soon as you set eyes on the page. The colour scheme for this image is mostly blues and whites, which also contrasts from the black bold outline of the pier. I will, be using these pictures for the other pages of my website, and I am going to make them a little transparent so that you will be able to see the writing and other information placed on the website. I have thought about the colour scheme here as they include very bright array of colours which go well with my vintage theme.
- 8. Contact us page • I have used the text ‘DIN Next Light’ as it is simplistic and it shows the audience important information about the magazine. I feel that it works well with my vintage theme as it has a kind of a simplified typewriter kind of look to it. • I used the font ‘Georgia’ again because I feel that it fits in with this page and looks good in a bright pink colour, giving this page a professional finish.
