I am now going to spend some time looking into some types of colour and typography that i feel will best suit my project, I will start off by looking into Colour.
I looked into some different colour palettes that represent the same aspirations as what i am looking at in the project, I looked at a blue & white palette because it gives off terms of reliability, focus, and clarity

I thought that there was definitely a good bit of potential when looking at this colour palette as i could have the white serving as the main body colour and the blues as a secondary based colour for the likes of buttons.
I also looked at a sort of teal & yellow looking palette as them colours would represent the likes of energy, motivation, and creativity, which i think every University student should be aiming to have as there morals.
I thought that the colours in this were quite interesting, and i would definitely lean towards using them but with a few of them i would maybe prefer if they were a bit darker just to add a bit off contrast because a few of them are a bit to similar.
The last one i looked at was a green & black styled palette because through my research i found that these colours together represent the values of growth, productivity, and determination, which i thought was very intriguing so it led me into looking at some of the palettes. My favourite one that i seen was this,
I would say that all of the colour palettes that i looked at had a good amount of potential when it comes to when i am designing the project, but i would say that the blue & white one that i looked at first holds the most weight and i would like to bring that further into the development of the project.
Now that i have decided on what colours i want to use for this project i will now decide on what typeface or typefaces i think will be the most suitable for my project.
I am leaning more towards using just pure sans serif typefaces for it as they give off a sense of modernity and if this product is based around University students i feel like it would be more intuitive for the users.
DM Sans
The first one that i looked at was called ‘DM Sans’,
I haven’t actually used this font before and when i first seen it i thought that it would be a really good one to work with, especially if i solely have it as the body text throughout the project i think it would look well.
