Unfortunate Assignment #1- Blog Design

I wanted to make my blog look handwritten, more like a diary than an essay you would write in microsoft word. That is why I chose the fonts that I did. The font of the title looks like a more formal handwriting, as if more time and effort was spent to make it look nice, while the blog text is messier handwriting, which is quite similar to my own. The title of the blog makes you think of the book series about young kids who are plagued by a villainous authority figure. In other words, AP Literature and Composition. But instead of stopping someone from taking our money, we have to write essays. The story of my life for the next few months is going to involve a lot of writing, hence the title.

I chose the background to be a piece of lined paper because it fits in with the whole handwritten diary theme. The font is handwriting, and the background is paper. The blog will be filled with writing assignments. The whole theme ties together. The text is white to contrast with the dark grey background, in the same way that dark grey graphite contrasts with the white background of paper.
