For my website, "Truth," I feel as though it is a well organize blog, though I do not believe some of the designs are exclusively found on this site. I like where they placed their titles and the placement of where everything is found. I think their color pallet is a universal color scheme. The color scheme is grey and pink. The pink does stand out, but it is not exclusive. The website uses very simple and easy to read fonts, which I like. Behind the title, their is a flower pattern. I feel as though this pattern does stand out and it makes the title pop more. I think this article is very well- organized, but I do not think that it is truly original.
