The colour for the text I used was green because one of Iago’s main reasons for revenge is jealousy, since Cassio has his position of lieutenant and his wife, Emilia, might be cheating on him with Cassio and/or Othello. The font I used for the title and entries were designed to be more sophisticated, but difficult to read. This represents the personality of Iago, since he is a high-ranking official, but not many people are able to read his actions, actions which show his true identity.
The first image I used was the mask from V for Vendetta. The mask in Iago’s case is that he can hide his true intentions behind the large smile. The second image I used was of two-face from batman, and it represents Iago, because the human side shows the fake, good person, and the other side reveals his true identity, tainted beyond hope of fixing it and green with envy. The final picture I used was one of a puppet master. Iago used different methods to make characters like Roderigo and Othello do what he wanted like they were his puppets.
I think the background to the blog is a black and white image and represents what Iago has done to the lives of people around him. The white represents the peacefulness and purity of the characters and the relationships they had, like Othello’s love for Desdemona and his friendship with Cassio. The black represents blood, the blood of Desdemona and Cassio that is to be spilt due to the sinister actions of Iago. At the end of Act 3, the blood is starting to spread across the screen, corrupting the purity that is Othello’s relationships, and will eventually fill the screen, signaling the end for Desdemona, Cassio, and Othello. When this occurs, Iago will have had his revenge.
