Rational- Blog theme
In the beginning I wanted my blog theme to use a lot of white space and be very simple, however after discovering that there was already a default theme of this: I changed my mind. So then I decided that I wanted to make it a little moody. I have done this by using an image that I have painted of a city scape. I first painted the image, then made layers by scanning in ink painting that I had done to create this effect. I wanted to keep the blog theme similar to the default blog- so it would be easy to follow and I think the default layout is very effective. I changed it to how I wanted it, by making the background of the blog wider and a black colour so it ties in well with the background image. I uploaded the image onto the net so I could link it to my blog using photobucket. I also changed the colour-scheme to black and red, because this is a historically effective combination. I aligned the blog header toward the right to balance out with the rest of the blog. I made the date-colours in black so they appear as if they are connected with the background. I also moved the search/ navigation tool toward the right so it was off the background and changed the colour to work with the theme. I have uploaded examples of posts- so you can get an idea of what my blog would actually look-like. I used tumblur because wordpress would not let you create a theme, and tumblur was the easiest to use out of the blogs. I am really happy with my blog theme and think it all works together well:D
