   The general theme of this design is Victorian. The Victorian era is characterized by its elegance and intricacy evident in its very elaborate architecture. The details are often held together by large gaps of empty or simple spaces to temper the design. The title and navigation of the page is set in an elaborate Old English Text MT typeface. Following the Victorian designs, the content is set in a clean and simple Bookman Old Style and Times New Roman font family in an black layer with 65% opacity. The background is a photograph taken by Arnolfini titled Afterlife. It was edited to blur so as to put emphasis on the balcony where the navigation is set.
