Every project or design will involve type or text in some way, which makes the font choice very important. Certain fonts deliver certain moods and tones, which will affect the way your project is viewed and understood. The purpose of your project also has impact because there are certain fonts that lend themselves to different purposes, such as artsy, classical, or modern fonts. If the font is not the main focus, for example if your project is emphasizing a photo in the background, the font choice should be kept simple so that the viewer's attention is on the photograph and not the font style. The color of the font also makes a difference, as color can dramatically effect mood and emotion, and there is research showing that some light may even have a therapeutic effect. My template mainly focuses on darker blues and some whites, with the blues evoking a calming mood and the whites being readable without standing out too much.
