Inspirational Post: Typography

I feel like if I change "SportsTalk" into a different font it would stand out more compared to it being in a San Serif font. I also feel like it would give it the ESPN look which would make sense since it is a blog about sports. I would rather have a sports font for a sports blog compared to having a non sports font for a sports blog.

Inspiration Post: Color

For my inspiration of color I thought it would be best to choose Black and Yellow. The reason I chose to Black and Yellow was because I have grew up a Pittsburgh sports fan. I wanted to do an all Pittsburgh based sports blog, but I decided that I would rather do sports in general.

Inspiration Post: Design

I wanted to keep the design for this sports blog pretty simple. The reason I wanted to keep it simple was I thinking about viewers who will be viewing this page and they will be able to navigate through it easy. I feel like if you have a complicated blog viewers will get lost and not want to come back and view the blog.

Inspiration Post: Typography

I chose to use a Sans Serif font for the typography of this blog. The reason I chose to use a Sans Serif font is I believe that it is the best font to be able to view things online. I also wanted the readers to be able to read the font so if I would have chose a creative font I do not think the viewers would be able to reader it as clear. I also feel like that Sans Serif font is more cleaner and that is what I want for this blog
