Color Palette:
Well I wanted to make my website very aesthetically pleasing, I really like the contrasts between
the different shades of blues and then the ivory that throws in some contrast. Also while doing
my research I learned that light blue refreshing and calming and when someone visits my
website I wanted them to feel attracted to it but also feel calm when going through it, I wouldn’t
want my users to feel overwhelmed. But, I also want to come off as responsible and reliable to
potential jobs, so I made sure to throw in some darker shades of blue as well. And then the ivory
is a nice touch because it adds on a layer of sophistication and cool.
Font:
2. I decided to go with Caladea because it’s a Serif font. I wanted to stay with the same theme I
had for my colors and Serif is sophisticated and reliable. I also paired Robot with it because it
matched well.
