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
