Use two typefaces to design a mockup of a personal webpage.

Using Jason’s adjective exercise, consider the mood and style of the typefaces you’d like to represent yourself on a personal website. Then, choose two typefaces and mock up a simple webpage with a header, description, photo, and at least two external links. Share your process and final product in the Project Gallery. We’d love to know:

What were the adjectives you settled on to describe yourself and your type?
What were your considerations when deciding which typeface to use as a header verses the summary?
What elements of your typefaces make them work well together?
