Why I Did What I Did
Font Style
I chose a sans-serif style font because it reflect upon how Poe's works were surreal and without bounds. I didn't use a very energetic styled font because it reflects upon how Poe was kind of a mopey dude. The lack of serifs containing the letters in a concise way can be related to how Poe's works were surreal and limitless.
Layout
I used a gray background without any sort of objects to fill up the background space because it creates a sense of loneliness. gray is typically thought of as a sad and lonely color, without any energy or life to it. The lack of any sort of any objects to fill up the empty space not occupied by any text helps create a lonely sort of feel to the page, which I used because loneliness is a trope commonly found in Poe's works.
