Proposal Color

Color Associations

I wanted a non conflicting color scheme so I chose to go with a monochromatic color scheme. I do plan on incorporating a little color where its needed, for example when a page is highlighted to let the viewer know what page they are on.

These sites motivated my color choice:

Color Scheme

I will be using a monochromatic color scheme. I chose the monochromatic color scheme because I wanted my content to be the most vibrant and attracting rather than the site itself, but I don't intend on making an overall ugly site.

Proposal Texture

Texture Overview

On my site I will have minimal to no texture. For the most part, my backgrounds will be in solid colors with varying opacities. Other than that, I will have some gradients applied throughout the site. I chose not to use textures because I wanted to reinforce the simplistic look.

Texture Style

My site will be very clean and somewhat modern looking. It will be minimalistic. The texture itself will be in the gradients.
