5. Typography
My typography research was interesting, rather than just researching typography, I decided to refine the research and look into musical typography. I don’t think from the research it will influence strongly on my choice of type at the end of the day hecause most of the time most of the articles I found discussed the music industry, which isn’t what im going into. I basically googled musical typography and found that rather than using slick smooth type, most of them found a way of integrating type and musical notation to form a typeface. Which looked good but wasn’t what I wanted.

11. Final Design
Colour
RGB (0,0,0) Black - for the treble-clef. After playing with the colours of it, in my opinion, it didn’t look right, I couldn’t find a colour that suited the treble-clef. Also kept “web design” black so that it looked more a part of the graphic and so it flowed from one side to the other.
RGB (54,169,255) Sky blue - This colour is seen in the mouse and my name, I chose the colour because it is a calm colour but, in my view quite eye catching which leads you to spot to mouse first then look at the rest of the image.

12. Final Design
Type
French Script MT – “web design” is displayed in this text because it sits nicely with the rest of the image and I think it flows nicely in he same way that the treble-clef does.
Plantagenet Cherokee – This is the text used for my name, I wanted something that would give a professional look but not to look to out of place with the rest of the design and I think this text does that.
