The title of the blog ‘Master of Madness with a Soul of
Insanity’ describes Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic fiction style of writing. His stories are written in a way that exposes
some of the deep horrific thoughts within.
The font used for the title of the blog, ‘Fontdiner Swanky’, was
selected because it looks quirky and non-linear, representing the changing emotions
that the reader feels throughout the different stories. The font used for the quotes is called ‘Chiller’,
and was selected because of its obvious creepiness and how well it represents
the horror of the gothic stories, and it was italicized for a more dramatic
effect. The explanation was written in a
font called ‘Impact’, to give the impression that it is a purposeful and
scholarly description of what the quote implies, bolded to make it stand out.
The images included pertain directly to each story, giving
the reader a visual sense of what to expect.
In other words, the stories are dark, contain a deep meaning, and directly
relate to the chosen quote. The images
provide an additional dimension to the quote, as well as to the analysis. In the blog around character analysis of the
Black Cat a video was embedded (both link and video), so the reader could see
the story itself, and in the Fall of Usher blog, a link to suspenseful music
was included.
The blog’s wallpaper was chosen because it
looked like an artistic but chaotic pattern of blood spatters and stains. The background of the post is a dark red
because it is intended to arouse powerful emotions. Red also represents determination, power,
blood, anger, violence and danger which are common sentiments found in the
stories. Blog fonts were coloured black
for strong contrast.
