How do I want to be perceived online? That’s the question I asked myself as I worked through my vision board.

At first, I was going purely based on how I wanted my website to feel and look like. My ideal aesthetic would be romantic academic, with the colours being based in greens, browns, creams, and dark reds.

My initial theme was going to documenting me exploring new places in Downtown Vancouver. However, due to recent circumstances (like poor weather and lack of transportation), I decided to focus on something that was more independent of other factors. Although I originally wanted to avoid books as a topic (out of fear that I was going to turn it into something that I dreaded doing), I found a work around. Instead of focusing purely on book reviews, I broadened the topic to include book recommendations, partial book reviews (for example, I could do only 5 chapters a week, instead of a whole book), and other book-related topics!  Funnily enough, a lot of my vision board pictures had books included in the images, so maybe my subconscious decided a long time ago.
