About The PAG Web Site Design
The font color I chose for this web site, a medium dark brown, harmonizes with the desert landscape background. My favorite colors, the colors of nature and that of the desert scenery that surrounds Phoenix, Arizona our home, were my design palette choices: turquoise (an Arizona native color), gold, copper,and sage green. As an accent I have added bright coral red where I felt it belonged and to express the vitality of the PAG organization and its membership. The background with turquoise borders, features the saguaro cactus, the much loved icon of the Sonoran desert, and I especially love Arizona's spacious clear blue skies and mountains that are shown in the background.
In designing this web site, my intent was to create a mood that would be subtle and serenely natural, be non stressful to visit, and to provide an esthetic and enthusiastic cyber environment for the content that Phoenix Artists Guild members would want to share with visitors to this site. The table background behind most of the text content is a textured silver with silver borders and is neutral so as not to distract from the photos or text messages.
You will notice I am sure that a stylized rendering of the legendary Phoenix Bird is a reoccurring graphic used on the PAG Web Pages in various locations and in various realizations and manifestations of itself, and it has a life of its own that I, its creator, have endowed with shape, form, color, personality, and a name, "Inspire". It is my PAG Web Site Mascot/Avatar, and "Inspire" exists because I wanted it to inspire me while diligently working laboriously and tediously on the HTML coding. The Mascot/Avatar has been named "Inspire" and is doing a remarkable job with its assigned responsibilities!
I am a nature lover and have grown to love the Arizona landscapes, flora, fauna, and respect its legacy and legends so that is what I chose to include in this web design. This web site expresses my love for the many and varied beautiful Arizona natural landscapes, flora, fauna, legends, and both its history and its ecology.
