Each blog has been designed differently in hopes to reflect the blog's content. In "The nature of savagery" I made the font to red to reflect the blood of the creatures that Pi had consumed. This adds a suspenseful and realistic affect to the event discussed in this blog. The picture added portrays the capabilities of human beings when found at a crossroad between life and death.
My second blog entry "The will to survive" is written in an orange font which symbolizes hope and survival. The picture added to this blog is a shot of an island taken from a distant to emphasize Pi's isolation from the world, from hopes of survival.
"Hope versus despair" is my third blog, written half in lavender and half in maroon. Lavender represents the calmness that hope should bring to Pi. Maroon represents a darker feeling of despair felt by Pi as he faces each daily challenge. The picture of Batman and Joker is placed to explain the power of having hope versus having despair. Having hope instills a fight in Pi to fight for his life, while feelings of despair can easily turn someone into a dark mood, a feeling of defeat. These opposing behaviors are powerful markers in Pi's quest for survival.
The last blog "Storytelling and belief" has a picture of a human hand with a tiger printed on it. This explains the contracting stories of Pi on the shipwreck. Pi explains being accompanied by zoo animals while another explains Pi being accompanied by other humans.
