Sophia Blog's background is a rusty yellow, that emphasis the images on the screen. She uses pictures of the band members performing, the people from the neighborhoods the band plays in. Sophia also uses old fashioned Photos as well as poster boards to draw people into Lagnippe's world. This gives the blog a laid back,vintage, atmosphere.The videos Sophia posts of Lagniappe allows the audience to listen to the band's music for themselves. So they will be able to hear the different types of instruments being played: Saxophones, accordions, banjos, fiddles.
By looking at Sophia's Blog design, make me think about posting videos of writers performing their work: Book readings and poetry slams; so my audience can see how writing has evolved from paper to the screen. Sophia's blog relies mostly on images and videos, but its fits with her theme: Music. Sometimes words can't fully express the raw intensity of a performance. The audience as to hear and see the band to truly understand them.
Sophia shows other young artists in Cincinnati the band's birth place. Kids create paint images on side walks, who believe one day they will reach their dreams as the members of Lagniappe, when they were struggling musicians. By seeing pictures from Cincinnati lets me the viewer understand why the band chose to start their careers in the heart of this city. It has many cultures and stories that are being told through the bands music.
