Wettje: Website

I chose to use the Spring Dog Fest, an event by me to raise money for an animal shelter that I used to volunteer at. The event is held to raise money for the shelter and honor those who have helped make a difference in the lives of the animals at the shelter. The event is hosted by Dognique, a local shop for pet supplies.

I used three typefaces for this project. The navigation links were done in Candara. I liked its simplicity yet boldness as a sans serif. On my homepage, I used Castellar for the headers and Century for the body text. I loved the elegance of Castellar and the readability of Century in limited usage. On the remaining pages, I used Veranda for the body text because it is very versatile and readable.

I used green and sky blue as the colors because these are the colors of the shelter. The green is done in R=47, G=99, B=64 and the blue was done in R=32, G=230, B=223. To add something unique to the design, I had a beagle behind the selected page to highlight which page was being used. Rather than using something generic like a colored box, I wanted to add something special and have it be like the dog was following you from page to page.
