I originally didn't want to put the colour green in my homepage as it would be expected however when i was looking over my first homepage design i put myself the the position of the viewers and i didn't think the 4 different fonts colour worked well because there was too much to look at and looked tacky. Also the positioning and detail i had put on there was not necessarily the information that would be on a real site so i decided i need to start again. And i did.
I still used the same conventions as that is what makes a good web page. The changes i made were instead of having text on top of the image, i put the name of tghe artist, 'Professor Green' above the image with the logo next to it and the name of the album below the image. I changed the font as i has previously used 3 different fonts which contributed to the tackyness. The font i chose was called Chi- Town. (below)
I chose this font because it was different and is what i think Professor Green himself would like to represent him. I also chose it because people would associate P.G with graffiti however this was one convention i wanted to break because i do not think that is all he would want to be associated with. This fint is kind of in the middle of the modern graffiti text and smart, neat readable text which i believe represent P.G perfectly. Refering back to colour, i chose to put green on the homepage but chose i more mature, khaki green. My two text colours are green and white as this will not be too much and loose people interest.
Well done Jemma, this blog post is focused on font and colour, which links to your creation of PG's iconography successfully and your explanations of design changes are clear. Good work. To develop your post, you can explain how these design changes help to create a clearer brand identity between your main task and homepage.
