Website

Entrance Page-I wanted my entrance page to look like an invitation you would get in the mail. I used the event as the seal that would be on the invitation to give an idea of what the site was about. I also used a piece of the border from the invite to frame the page and break up some of the white space.

Other Pages-I made my banner to mimic the poster that I used for the event in a more scaled down version. I included just one on the invited border as to not crowd the white space but lead the reader’s eye to the title. The banner for the links is the same pattern from the entrance page and they would turn black when active to match the color scheme. I incorporated the black and white pattern from the entrance page as a background like you suggested. I used the same invitation format with a bit of transparency as a container for all of the even information. I then included a link to the Dunbar site with their logo and slide show of the children. I wanted to include pictures of kids to give a face to the children the event was for, I also wanted to make the side donor and search friendly do I included a sidebar on every page with that option. For fonts I used Helvetica because the Dunbar logo used that font and I did not want a ton of different front, and it is a very functional font. I used Ruziicka as a script font to look like an invitation but also add readability. I also used the Zaphino font from my original poster. I did use a different font called Bickhan Script. I wanted to use the font throughout the site but it lacked readability; large and as a single line it functioned well.
