I created my blog on blogger as I did not want to confuse the first years by using a different blog server. I used a similar blog address to the one which they will have to use for their own. This was an attempt to avoid confusion and further imprint the address into their minds.
I kept the design really simple and in keeping with the rest of the design. I wanted to make the blog background into Cyan to keep the continuity but this was not allowed within the presets, however I think this is a good thing as it could look too overpowering with the background in full colour.
Most of my outcomes were rectangle but I had designed one of my stickers in a circle shape, I used this as inspiration for my logo as I think it looks more welcoming and inviting, it also fits well within the dimensions of the header.
Most of my header images stemmed from the outcomes I produced. I used the mac illustration as a header for my mac tips page obviously. I think it works quite effectively and is easily recognisable to students.
The general tips header is very simple as I did not want to over complicate the header with an image.
I used the black line drawings of equipment as the header for my equipment blog which I was not sure about as it kind of take away the detail from the cards I have produced.
