(#1) Fretwell Blog 2.0

I'm so happy with the new branding of my website. The Superheros were fun and unique, but I always knew I wanted my blog to have a transparent background to create a fun, creative, eclectic aura for my blog. Utilizing my favorite colors and a gradient I found incredibly pleasing, allow me to present Jake Fretwell's blog 2.0!

I opted for multiple colors to display my multiple interests and used various shapes to express them. I really wanted to incorporate a star into the wallpaper but the simplicity of the shapes here makes the background larger than life. The very clear downside is that the triangles are yellow, which clashes with the white letters. As much as I'd like to scapegoat that problem and say it is a stylistic choice, the jarring similarity of the colors is uncomfortable to the eye.

I might fix that issue by making the yellow darker to resemble gold, but I've fallen in love with this design. I even made it my computer background :)

Don't worry, I'm aware this isn't related to my short film in the slightest, but this agenda for the posts coming this week definitely is:

(#2) — the phone call (Friday)

(#3) — split personalities (Saturday)

(#4) — the big idea (Sunday)


These are just the titles: Stay tuned to see what they actually mean!

Until then,
Have a great day,
