Pieces of plastic and clothe take the sky, almost as if they were flying, being held only by a small piece of string. It really is out of this world and I think that is the reason why Morro Bay, California takes one day out of the year to celebrate kites. That&#8217;s right, every April maybe hundreds of kites take flight in the beaches of Morro Bay for a family-fun festival.<\/p>\n<p>Needing something to make a flyer for, I decided to make one for this great event. I knew I wanted to make the poster reasonably simple and I knew I wanted to emphasize the kites in the sky. I originally used a rainbow of colors for my color palette but thought that it was too over powering. It took away from the type and just seemed a little gaudy. That&#8217;s why I simplified the palette to just patriotic colors to also symbolize this old-fashion All-American event.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-231\" title=\"Morro Bay Kite Festival\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/kite_festival.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/kite_festival.gif 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/kite_festival-231x300.gif 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Needing something to make a flyer for, I decided to take one of Morro Bay&#8217;s more popular events: its annual kite festival. <a href=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/taking-the-sky\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[45,83],"class_list":["post-230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poster","tag-america","tag-kite"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":232,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230\/revisions\/232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
