Source of Inspiration: I Googled Patterns

I actually googled patterns a while ago and found these images that inspired me I just forgot I did it. I literally just searched "patterns" and so many pictures popped up. First I found a picture that I found the design appealing and easy to look at. I then found the template that most closely represented the image because I liked it so much. It had a pattern of circle shapes with other shapes inside of them.
I feel as though my background resembles this in a more abstract way. I then found a pattern that resembled the colors I liked also, but in a pattern for -- not two bottles sitting next to each other. I found a picture that had plenty of blue-green shades in it that I liked a lot and thought complimented each other nicely. 
I love the way all of the shades go together and the resemble the colors I like and would like to have on my blog. I like them because they're cute....I mean look at them!

Source of Inspiration: Forever 21

I know when I was reading the assignment sheet and saw that I needed to have a post about my text inspiration I didn't know what I was going to do! In honor of Black Friday shopping -- which I didn't even do, ugh -- I am using a clothing store website for my text inspiration! I was on the website for Forever 21 and thought about this blog and posts I had to make for it so I looked at the text for the title.
The title is all caps in a simple font and I liked it. My title was a simple font but not all caps, so it inspired me to change it because I like how it looks. I chose the font I did because it's not too weird or childish looking, but professional. I then proceeded to see the text type for the rest of the website. 
The text for the rest of the website is the same font as the title. Mine was not that way, so I was inspired to change it. I think the uniform text look is very professional and easy to look at so I applaud Forever 21 for that. I went into the website more to find how they put together their headers and the text under them. 
The headers bold and the page content in the same font as the title and header. My post titles were bold but the font was different from the rest of the page. It wasn't until I saw this website that I realized my post title being a different font didn't look all that cute so I changed the font to match the rest of the blog text. I think the text on my blog now looks a lot more uniform and professional thanks to the inspiration of the Forever 21 website.
