My blog has a very distinct nature because of its creator, me, who has definitely gone through some rough patches recently. Ever since Hamlet came so harshly to me "as if he had been loosed out of hell" (2.1.93) and threw my world from its realm and comforting presence, I have been so lost in the inner depths of myself, digging myself into plots and relationships with those I have not wanted. Because truthfully, I have only ever wanted him. That's it.
For those that actually take time to read my blog, they have experienced this emotional roller coaster with me, literally; word for word. Yet for those spectators who choose the less internally-damaging route, and who like to just skim the many online profiles, I have employed a unique technique. Purposefully changing the typography, color scheme, and format of my profile I have learned to create the Ophelia that I so desire to be.
In terms of typography, I chose the type Georgia. This is because after doing some research I have found that it tends to depict a very longing and "coming from the heart" mood as well as a smooth and theatric tone. I chose a mixture of these emotions because I want my skimmers to feel like they are being touched with a sense of something that is larger than just me. I want them to feel as if it is the world around me that is causing me to feel the pain and deep emotion I feel, not just me venting off. Of course this has good reason, one very blatant example of people turning on me is when I told to Hamlet, "My honored lord, you know right well you did"(3.1.106) as he denies his every feeling towards me.
The color scheme and layout of my writing page are intricate yet simple to the eye. I chose neutral colors in terms of text color with splashes of bright white. These solemn colors exist to create my modest, innocent, yet internally "bleeding" tone. Also flashing a very mysterious and very in-depth curious mood for the viewer as they are going to be torn between the pale colors and daring white contrast. My undertone when speaking to Hamlet recreates my latest color scheme change. "I was the more deceived"(3.1.130), I said to him after being hit by a meteor shower of insults; I felt a dagger pierce my heart--the blood is the deep magenta painted on the letters. The layout remains able to see the background which is in direct relation to me telling my audience that I am not nearly as one-dimensional as I may sound. I want them to see the layers and peel them off one by one. The picture is of me in the background because I believe it depicts me in a very majestic and celebrated way yet the emotion on my face tells a whole other story; a face that says "look into my eyes, feel my pain".
