    BabyGoodBuys.com: Graphic Design {Social Media Icons}

    I was privileged to meet Marybeth in person a few weeks ago when I attended a blogger meetup in New Orleans, LA called Bloggers On Bourbon, hosted by MomDot and BookieBoo/Mamavation. I absolutely adore her :) I was ecstatic when she came to me for a blog design on a new project she hasn’t yet launched. Subsequently, she entrusted me with revamping her existing blog’s header to include some custom social media icons. It was SO much fun for me to figure out the perfect way to add a creative touch while prominently directing her readers to connect with her across her social network. Marybeth was overjoyed when she saw her new header and her return email read, “Oh my goodness. You are AMAZING!” You’re pretty dang awesome yourself, Marybeth. I’m glad you’re happy with it!

    Karen came to me in search of a blog design that would mirror her existing website. She wanted it to have its own appeal, but to integrate flawlessly into the scheme she already had in place. I chose to customize the Thesis theme for her blog, giving particular detail to the header portion in order to give it the same feel as her website while minimizing the attention drawn to the body so that the content itself would be the focal point.

    Black Sports Online: Graphic Design {Header Banner}

    BlackSportsOnline.com is owned and operated by Robert Littal. After meeting him on Twitter, he became a pretty constant design client of mine. I designed his logo and was pretty thrilled when he came back to inquire about having me put together a new header for his as well. He sent over a few high-resolution images of major athletes who tend to be frequently publicized and somewhat controversial to give the banner an element of attractive edginess. He also wanted an image of himself in the center. Here are some of the options I returned to him in the end. He chose the final draft to feature on his website.
