DESIGN

In terms of design, so far I've created a few different Feminars logos. Our slogan is 'Pro-thought, Pro-discussion'. This reflects what Feminars is (i.e. online seminars discussing feminist issues and ideas). I've also purchased images from Shutterstock that we can use on our blog - women using the internet, online doctors, vector images to distinguish every page, and many more. We agreed so far that we should use colours that represent Spring - lime green, orange, yellow, etc. I quite like the design of Mamamia. It's simple, while at the same time eye-catching because of the bursts of colour on the pages.

On Wordpress, I've purchased the custom design package because none of the free nor premium themes were quite right for us, so it's best that we design our blog right from scratch and try to be as unique as possible.
