BLOG & WEBSITE THEMES• What is your platform?
(WordPress.com/.org, Blogger, Tumblr etc.)
• NOT ALL THEMES ARE CREATED EQUAL!

FONTS & TYPOGRAPHY• A little web font history• What the hell is a “serif” and a “sans-
serif” font?!

FONTS & TYPOGRAPHY• And a “Display” font...?
It looks BRILLIANT when huge...
...and completely shit when small.

FONTS & TYPOGRAPHY• Rule of thumb:
ONE GREAT TEXT FONT +
ONE OR TWO DISPLAY FONTS FOR TITLES & HEADINGS
=EASY TYPOGRAPHY RECIPE FOR BEGINNERS

DIY HEADERS & GRAPHICS• Bravery• Practice• The ability to “appropriate” other

DIY HEADERS & GRAPHICS• Colour means nothing without context• Just consider your target audience,
and pick a colour that reflects who you are best to those people.
• Not sure about “your style”? Build a Pinterest board of styles you like

site – those are useful pointers to keep everything on brand
• Use your Pinterest board for inspiration
