Project 5:Interface Design | Lang

The non-for-profit event that I chose for my website is C.A.R. It stands for Champions are Readers and it is a philanthropy event that my sorority Pi Beta Phi is involved in to promote literacy. For my website, I have the home page, about us page, photos page, events page, contact us page, and the location page. For my event, I felt that having these particular pages would be most effective because the reader can learn about the event and the organization that supports it as well as all the details behind it.
The typeface I used for my header is Futura with different variations and the two other big text boxes, “a book today…” and “share the magic…” is in Franklin Gothic. The rest of the type is in Helvetica Neue, either in regular or light. I chose Helvetica Neue as my main typeface because I found it really easy to read and after watching Helvetica the movie, I really enjoy this typeface! I didn’t add any text for the photos page and just kept it really simple with pictures and for the user to scroll through them.
I tried to incorporate a lot of visuals and images in the pages, but I didn’t want to put too many pictures, so I also added a lot of color boxes. The color scheme I used was yellow and blue and I also played around with the opacity to change up the color use. I used a book and the color cyan to show the active state of the webpage. I tired to put a lot of information about C.A.R. but I also felt that it was important to mention first book, which is the organization that donates the books, and also mention Pi Beta Phi who participates in this event.
