Colour testing

Pink is a very feminine colour. Pink is said to be a colour just for girls but this is not true, this is just a stereotype. When babies are born they say that blue is for boys and pink is for girls, this wasn't always the case because pink comes from red and red means blood and violence and boys were to be seen as powerful and violent. Blue was the colour that the Virgin Mary wore and they said that girls should be innocent but somehow the colour’s swapped around. When i think of pink i think of girly things such a hearts, love, flowers etc.

Red usually represents love but it has other meanings such as blood, fear, fire, passion etc. When i think of red i do usually think of love. Red is associated with energy, war and danger. 

Blue is a calm, neutral colour. The stereotype is that blue is for boys, this is not true because blue can be for both boys and girls. The colour blue reminds me of water. Blue is usually associated with water but it is also the colour of the sky and it symbolizes faith, truth and heaven.  

Green is an earthy colour. When i think of green i think of nature such as leaves, trees, grass etc. Green symbolizes freshness, harmony and fertility. Dark green is commonly associated with money. 

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with the tropics, joy etc. When i think of the colour Orange i usually think about the fruit which is called an Orange.

Black reminds me of darkness and death. The colour black is associated with formality, death, evil and mystery. 

Yellow is the colour of sunshine. It is associated with joy, happiness and energy. When i think of the colour yellow i think of the sun and smiley faces which are sometimes yellow. Gold is a kind of yellowy colour and this reminds me of jewelry. 

Font testing

Lucida Blackletter: I like this type of font because it seems gothic, it also seems formal. Some of the letters are not so clear though and some people may find it hard to read. This font also seems like the style of writing, calligraphy. 

Arial: I like this style of writing because it seems modern and it is very clear and easy to read. 

Bradley hand ITC TT: I like this font because it has curly parts such on some of the letters. For example the letter ‘y’. It is also very modern and is clear to read. Some people may find it hard to read though. 

Casual: I don’t really like this font that much. It looks to childlike and i prefer joined up fonts. This font also seems too spaced part. The font is okay but it is not one of my favourite ones. 

Zapfino: I really like this font. It looks like the style of writing Calligraphy. It also has curly letters and it is just really nice. The only problem with it is that it is quite big and may be hard to read. 

Blackoak Std: I really do not like this font because even at size 14 it looks too big. It is also bold and i haven't even selected it to be bold.
