Blog Post #1- Reflection
Visual aesthetic- I at first decided on doing navy blue and a coastal theme of colors, but I decided to stick with white because it is easier to see pictures and the words with a plain background so it does not distract the viewer.
Design’s Alignment- I work with a wedding photographer over the summer and these are pictures I have had the opportunity to work with, and I love them. I was in charge of making mood boards, Pinterest etc for customers to use to show the wedding planners their visions, and I think this would be the perfect platform to share these ideas.
Inspo- I love getting information through pictures and quick captions, so I want to have my blog tell the story or information through pictures/art.
