Domain Name
- .co.uk is best to be recognised as being from the UK
- .com is usually for international trading
- .co.uk is significantly lower in cost
I have purchased www.liladescent.co.uk
Initially I wanted a .com site, as I thought it was more
memorable and hope to reach a wider audience than the UK, as the majority of
natural and organic beauty bloggers come from the states due to the weak FDA
regulations. However, after looking around I discovered a .co.uk would suit
best for this moment in time as blogs do not happen over night and can be developed over time.
Blog Header Image
This was my first attempt at the header image, I found as
soon as I uploaded the image onto my blog it did not look how I had hoped. The
banner is too busy and does not make good use of white space, which is what I
was initially trying to do, but felt it was too simple.
After uploading this image I discovered I would need to
perfect balance between less and more, while less can look too simple, more is definitely too busy.
This is my second attempt, while the banner looks much
better on the page, I’m still not satisfied with how it looks. The symbols I have chosen above the title are spiritual
symbols used in the new age movement. The star represents protection, in my
meaning it is that of the earth and body. The female symbol represents female
energy, it is not suggesting that the content is exclusive to females, but
rather the positive energy when related to yin yang. The triangle also
represents protection and the crescent moon is a symbol represents balance,
renewal and emotion to name a few.
I used the 2016 Pantones released as a guide when choosing
the colour pallet.
