FONTS

I came across a website that had an interesting font not only within its website but its logo BrassandChrome.com is a hardware store located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When i seen their website i found that their logo font was really interesting because it was in cursive. I would think that a company names brass and chrome would have a more block style type font. I would assume that  most businesses try to align their font and logo according to the services they provide of possible.

A strength of this font on this webpage is that it's very creative and unique. Once i read that one of their selling points for their business is that they consider themselves professional the font made more sense to me. I happened to find a link between having the font in a way that makes it seem like a signature. It also shows the elegance that can be done in that line of work.

A weakness of the font is the difficulty the reader may have in reading the logo. Although font is important, the most important part of any website that provides a service is to allow the reader to read your logo and not wonder who you are. To make this website more effective, the business could have the logo in plain font and having the headers and categories as the cursive font. It could've had the same effect on the page.

IMAGES!!!!

1.) (BIBLE) https://pixabay.com/p-1031288/?no_redirect
I see this as inspiration because I am a christian and i find hope in this book. This bible is the foundation for all my inspiration. I can use it as a background for a website that has to do about Christianity.
2.) (Martin Luther King) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-09611.jpg
I see this image of martin Luther King Jr. as an inspiration because I find this man to be one of the most courageous men in american history. I believe anyone can take qualities from MLK Jr. and become a better person. I would also use this as a background to a website about social justice.
3.) (Sisistine Chapel) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sistina-interno.jpg
The image of the Sistine chapel is inspirational to me because i really appreciate the arts. I always wanted to go to Europe to see the arts. I wouldn't use this as a background but i would have it under a photo section if it was a website about art.
4.(Baseball)

The image of this baseball is inspirational to me because i used to play baseball. This baseball is vintage looking and torn apart which reminds me of how much effort is needed to be good in that sport. Usually it takes a long time to perfect or be good at baseball and i think that's what this baseball reminds me of. I would use this as a background picture.
5.) (sky)  https://www.google.com/searchsite=imghp&tbm=isch&q=sky&tbs=sur:fc#imgrc=kHr44RdpLTtTyM:
This image of the sky is very interesting. I find the sky to be very relaxing and a therapeutic. I would use this as a cover photo for a story within the website or maybe even the background.
6.) (Sports Center) https://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=sports%20center&tbs=sur:fc#imgrc=VRk0znW66cn8pM:
This image isnt really interesting but it is inspirational. My dream is to get a job at sportscenter when i get older. Just the thought of working for ESPN is exciting. I would use this as part of a slide within a website where im talking about things i want to do.
