Is it a good idea to use different fonts in your blog?
Is it a good idea to use different fonts in your blog?
It’s not a good idea if you have no experience with graphic design. The blog can easily look messy, especially if there are no clear agreements within your group. Google Sites offers a solution: there are six themes you can choose from (Simple, Aristotle, Diplomat, Vision, Level, and Impression). Each theme has been designed by a graphic designer, ensuring your blog will look great as soon as you start designing it. Your group will choose a theme, and for each theme, there are three fonts available. You will need to choose one of those. The entire blog will use the same font, but you can add variety by using italics (like this text) for interviews or by selecting from ‘Normal Text,’ ‘Title,’ ‘Heading,’ or ‘Subheading.’ Google Sites has already assigned a font and letter size to these options, making it easy as pie!

How do you catch the reader's attention?
How do you catch the reader's attention?
Many people skim-read, so large headers and titles are useful. Make your reader curious, encouraging them to continue reading and eventually go through everything you’ve written. Starting with a motto that is reflected in your interview can engage people: "Watch my vlog to learn more about image jokes." Above all, place the right elements in the right places.
How do you keep it organized?
How do you keep it organized?
Work with your colour palette when typing. You can change the background colour (normal, emphasis 1, emphasis 2, and image).
By using the correct size distribution of coloured areas, white spaces, and images, you create an overview. You can test this by regularly pressing the eye icon at the top while editing. Don’t just see what it looks like on a large display, but also what it looks like on your phone, as this will appear differently. Take a critical look at your design and immediately change anything that doesn’t work.
Don’t just look at your own page, but also at the pages of the rest of the class. Is the layout still consistent across all pages? Does everyone adhere to the layout agreement made? This way, you’ll create a clear blog!
