Logo

The logo for our website simply states what the company is about: homes. It has the company's initials incorporated in it (NC) along with HOMES underneath the initials to clarify what the company is about. Also, I noticed how logofaves.com and logopond.com logos played around with the pictures and words. For example, One plus One, incorporates two number ones to form a plus sign between them. In that way, I incorporated a home within our logo.

The colors and fonts will be the same as the website, but I plan on adding a little more detail to it. This will make the website cohesive and logo interesting. As of now, I haven't made a digital logo, but it will be done for class tomorrow. This will make our website that more complete.

Edit: After discussing the logo with the company, we decided to exclude 'Homes'. This is the final logo.

Website 2 Goals

Our groups proposal received good comments. Therefore, our plans just need to be met. As a group, we need to come up with an overall template for the website. This template will involve a menu bar that will include drop down menus. As of now, we have been unable to figure out how to get this done, but we have been doing some research and will continue to do so. Also, I will create a digital logo. Now that we have our fonts, I will edit the design to go along with the font we have chosen: thin lines and curves.

Right now things have been going a bit slow, but we plan on meeting our goals by meeting each class period and outside of class.

Colors

Primary colors: yellow, red, and blue. These colors aren't mixed.

Secondary colors: green, purple, and orange. These colors are a mixture of one primary color mixed with the primary color next to it. For example, yellow mixed with red equals orange, which can be found between the two primary colors on the color wheel.

Tertiary colors: yellow-green, blue-green, red-orange, etc. These colors are a mixture of  primary and secondary colors that are placed between the two mixed colors.

Warm colors use red and yellow and pop to the front.
Cool colors use blue and fall to the back.

CMYK: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. This color model is used for physical printing, such as a book or photo, and can use as many colors as one chooses.

RGB: red, green, and blue. This color model is used on screen, such as a computer monitor or phone, and uses these three colors mixed throughout the screen to make other colors like purple.

After discussing colors in class, our group decided to use burgundy as an accent color and an off-white (leaning towards yellow) for our background. The burgundy color is a warm color that will pop to the front, which will draw the viewers eye towards it. By using these two colors, we will be using an analogous color scheme with black for most of the text. Also, Dr. Rice mentioned pulling colors from images used throughout the website, so we will be doing that as well. Since we are going to use an analogous color scheme, we can incorporate shades and tints of orange along with red and yellow. As long as we remember what we've learned about colors, we should be able to make good color choices.
