General design
The design of this theme is primarily based on straight lines and boxes, making it looks straightforward. Each part like posts, widgets, header, footer...are put on different boxes sticking on a wall. This organization helps it look neat and less glitzy. In general, Foto blog has a polite, well-balanced and gentle style, bringing the reader a comfortable and friendly feeling.
Other elements
The default color used here is black and light grey text, white background of the box, the traditional choices for a readable website. But the color scheme doesn't stop here. It also includes some peach color elements, making the appearance really sweet and gentle.
The Montserrat - the only family font here - with soft and adorable style is a perfect combination with the gentle and harmonious design.
Besides the full-width style of the whole page, this theme can boost creativity by having other 2 layouts: boxes and frame layout. Whatever you choose, all the layouts are all well-balanced and nice.
The header is well-organized with the elements arranged in a nice position. To make it outstanding and attractive, you can choose a header image, which is full-width, large and contains the page’s title to draw people’s attention effectively.
Header image
On the homepage, a slider is full-screen and very lively with the changing-color effect when hovering.
As for the featured post section, the featured images and titles are displayed in 3 default columns. The most noteworthy character of this area is that the feature images are auto-cropped into the same-size square. That's why this area is really well-proportioned.
Featured contents
Down to the footer area, the footer is laid on a black background to avoid messing with other elements. One thing I really like is the auto-justified footer column. It means that even if I add 1,2 or 3 columns, they still distribute in a nice way.
On the archive post page, there is only 1 default list style for you to display your blog. If you don’t choose a featured image for your post, a blank rectangle will replace it. I think that is aimed at keeping this post symmetric with the above and below posts.
Archive page
On the single post page, all the factors like comment area, navigation, and tag are well-displayed in individual boxes. Moreover, the feature image occupies the header image’s position, which makes it extremely prominent. Overall, it looks super sleek and catchy.
