After an initial meeting with the client, my first thoughts were to try to stick to the council's colour scheme with what regards colours. So using the sand colour to start with, and expanding into other colours that were within the range of colours. The two problems with this is that the colour scheme didn't fit that well together, a wide variety of colours were too much to handle, and the colours just didn't quite look right on the screen, So I decided to stick to one colour from the range, which the client decided to use for the 2009 festival, the sand colour. I also began to link the colour to the colour of book pages, focusing on keeping the main focus point of the website fairly bland so that the client could adjust the mood and the feel of the website, or a post on the website, just by adding some colour though a picture or by some other means.
Once I had these Ideas I put them down onto a Mood Board. I started off with writing down some important key items that are usually associated with Literacy, working onto colours, using a page from a book as a reference, and finally researching fonts associated with the printed word.
The mood board is below.
