website Research Portfolio 1.2

Fonts:

The font that I liked the best out of this list of fonts I chose was Avenir next regular and a different version of Avenir next not shown here, Avenir Next condensed. I will use a combination of these two fonts in my website, this will give a minimalist simple look and keep continuity throughout he website by using the same fonts.

Colours:

For the colours I knew that I wanted bright clear colours. I wanted a white background but not perfect white. I found that the white background Squerespace.com and Jeanclaudephoto.com uses for there background was the white I wanted so I took a screenshot and imported the colour into Adobe colour to get the hex values for the Colours.

Mood board and inspiration:

 

My two favourite website portfolios that I will use as my main inspiration are;

Im going to base the home page off this website because its minimalist and aesthetically pleasing.

Im going t base the photography page off this website because I like the linear yet not grid like layout for the photos.
