Week1A: Tawni's Blog Theme

 For my choice of theme, I decided to choose the simple deep. The color of the background is a deep red which is one of my favorite colors. Red itself is extremely vibrant and strong. I feel the color carries power and strength within. Compared to my personality, I consider myself a strong individual that contains power within my own life. 

Not to mention, the simple deep theme includes a design around the border of the page. The given design reminds me of the polynesian design "fetu". The word "fetu" means star in the samoan language and represents wisdom. As part of the polynesian community, our tribal designs carry deep meanings and stories.

It gives me remembrance of my culture and illustrates wisdom. I feel as though this theme suits my character. Not only does it incorporate my favorite color, but it has a heavy meaning to it.

  2. I think the concept of your theme is very interesting. I compared it to my own as we both went with something simple. However you took it up a step by personalizing it. Such as using your favorite color and as well as relating it to your culture. Even though it is very simple it is amazing that it has a deeper meaning than what is looked at.

  3. Hi Twani, thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed reading about the symbolism behind your website. Upon clicking I was gravitated toward the neatness and warm feeling your site generates. I find it really powerful how you connected the symbolism behind the color to your personality and culture; it really makes the reader feel a little more connected to you. I'm excited to see how your website develops.
