Advertisment for Blog Page
My design in words - which is difficult to describe as I just do it -
it is the moment of inspiration and it happens - as I am sure everyone else does too.
So words of description after the creating event:
minimal text with lots of white space to convey simple and easy.
black and white image to let text stand out: 'Website FREE' .
coloured text 'go now!' as action to do now.
blue hue for action text to convey education/safe/positives
Construction of page:
eye flow of top left to bottom right of page.
grid alignment pulling text and image together
cats tail off page linking it to action text 'go now!' also off page
hopefully conveying the idea to motion - do it now!
DEFINATELY GOT THIS WRONG -

Good effort on the blog promo artwork Mary.
Love the cat's eyeline; it's looking right at the URL.
Watch out for using too many typefaces. A layout loses unity as a result.
The flow is good, the clarity of the type is good, the message is mixed however...is this a site where you can get a free website? What's it got to do with cats? What are the instructions for and why do we need them?
All this can be addressed by asking yourself what the purpose of the site is and conveying this in your message.
Also watch out for introducing "tension" where the artwork hits the edge of the layout.
The kerning between W and e in "Website" is awkward and might need tweaking.
Re-submit to my polytechnic email with these changes.

So now here is my revised advertisment
But:
cat has to stay -
the cats I am hoping to develop as integral part of my final web page
so this is practice for me in how to use them
and practice for them posing in the correct position
and doing what they are told????
