Welcome, all!  This is my first attempt at blogging, and I am excited to use it as I learn techniques and skills to become a school librarian.

The font I chose is Open Sans, a sans serif font, mostly because Reynolds (2014) recognized how these "fonts work better on computer screens as they lack the counter strokes and thin lines of the serif typefaces that can be hard to read at low resolutions" (p. 40).

As far as the layout, I also like designs that are simple and clean without distorting the message through additional clutter.  "Design is about making things clear with as much economy and simplicity as possible" (Reynolds, 2014, p. 15).

Enjoy, and I look forward to many discussions to come!
