Blog #1: Design Justification

I chose the simple but also an eye catcher to those who are new to the website theme. The light blue to the white fade calms the reader and helps them enjoy the experience. The rain droplets add purity which leaves an imprint in the reader's mind. The mountain in the background helps the reader think of nature which would be the color green. This stimulates the reader's senses leading to a faster reading and comprehension rate. To focus more on elegance for the webpage I have left the font in "Times New Roman". Some of the text is in the color orange which also create a happy and somewhat energetic setting. My goal was to make this webpage an easy browse which is now possible with the simplistic color combinations added.
