Forever 29

I spent most of the last week working on a design for the lovely Amy over at Forever29. I'm happy to say that her blog is complete and it looks great! I got to try some new things with this design so it was loads of fun. The funny thing is that I can't show you what it looks like right now. 
The blog design will reveal on her blogiversary April 14th so all I can do it is give you a preview.
Here are the colors she chose.

Aren't they such pretty colors? 
If you want to see the whole design check back here on April 14th or follower Amy and keep an eye out.

Ashley Bridger Designs

Hi everyone! 
I'm so excited to say that I have been working on another project!!! The super sweet Ashley contacted me again, but this time it was for her business blog. She knew exactly what she wanted and it would be something I have never created before now! So I have loved working on it. 
Here is a preview!
I love the way that her header turned out! Each banner is custom made and it was so fun to do! Now we are just working on sidebar titles and we are done. If anyone wants to have your blog designed please email me and we will start today!

Research For Your Design

As a blog designer I love to get new clients. 
I do have a tip for any person who is looking to have a blog designed by someone else. It is always a good idea to do some research on what you would like to have done. 
Here are the things you should look at.

Patterns: It's always a good idea to send link to a couple of your favorite patterns to your designer!

Color: Make sure you fins examples of a few colors that you are in love with and would like on your blog design. A great place to find examples is on Pinterest. I have a pin board set up just for this. 

Fonts: Look around and get examples of some of your favorite fonts. There are so many out there and it always helps the designer to have an idea of what kind of font you like. 

Details: If there are any little details that you have seen on other blogs that inspire you then please feel free to send links to those as well. Most designers will not copy, but will take inspiration from what you have shown. Also if there is a detail you want incorporated into your design you should make sure to let your designer know.

Designers and customers are two different people with different ideas and styles. It's always great to send links of things that you like so that these ideas can easily be merged. You can find inspiration anywhere. Just take a look around. It could be on some of your favorite blogs, pinterest boards, or just random websites you have seen.

So just as a quick tip from a designer to you, always do a little research to see what your ideal blog should look like and it will make the process a lot quicker and more enjoyable for the designer and the customer. 
Have a great day everyone!!!
