Blog Post #1 Design Justification

I'm not trying to be a cookie cutter actress.

I want to find the truth in my performances -- I want to be genuine and authentic in every show and every line. But this is my only constant with everyone else. My personality isn't shaped to fit any specific stereotype. I'm quirky, straight forward, girly, and strong. My performances are truthful, but they have my personal twist etched into them.

My style choices are meant to mirror that. The standard choice an entertainer would choose for a blog template would be one of the two options containing spotlights. But I'm not trying to be that cheesy or that standard. The template I chose incorporates circular spots of light on a dark background, like spotlights in the rafters -- but different. They're the truth of what I am, a musical theater kid dreaming of her name in lights, with a twist. The color and font of my words follow the same process. They're a redder, off-base black on a Georgia font-- not the typical, black, Times New Roman lettering, but also not too far off. A little brighter, a little curvier -- Truth With a Twist.
