Every day we see things that inspire us. Whether it be nature, fashion, or something we read, it's easy to get inspired. A lot of the time we aren't aware of how our natural surroundings play into our daily lives. Every day I am inspired by things I see on the media. Platforms like Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook all influence how I wanted my blog to appear. Since I wanted my blog to have a worldly appearance, I went with a simple layout that focused on a unique banner. Since La Vie est Belle is a French saying, I choose a header that had a travel theme featuring the Eiffel tower.
I also wanted my blog to have a personal touch. All of my posts contain pictures that I personally chose, and are also all things I like. To make my blog appear colorful but not too obnoxious, I kept with appropriate sized images that would look natural with the post.
My design inspiration came from my theme, the beauty of life. I wanted my page to fill up with content that ultimately reflected the overall theme of my blog, which was finding the beauty in everyday things. In terms of color inspiration, I wanted a neutral background that would balance with other colors easily. I didn't want it to be hard on the eyes, or be too overwhelming for the reader.
My typography inspiration came from picking a font that would be easy to read for each post. I wanted to select a font that had a little bit of character but at the same time had a classy appeal. All of my posts are done in Georgia type font. I like this font because it is similar to Times New Roman but doesn't necessarily have the same "school" appearance.
