Anyway, I decided to sign up for one of her classes, Bloom Your Blog. (It was on sale, and I had a coupon. You can't say no to that, right?!) In we are learning some good food for thought on setting up a good blog design, and will learn how to make headers and buttons, etc in Photoshop. I don't know how to do very much in Photoshop (I mostly use Illustrator for everything.) so this should be good. Hopefully I can spiffy up my blog some more! :)
Some of the things I've been thinking about for my blog, are the style I want to portray, and the color scheme (which is always a tough one). (Don't hold me to this if this doesn't actually materialize into an amazing blog! lol. Trying to stay on top of the class is hard enough right now... I'm already a day behind.) ;)
The style words I picked are: fresh, clean, calm, fluid, and sunny. I also like classy.
and my thoughts about this: What I've struggled with is coming up with a distinct style to match my blog name and idea. from blank pages... where it all begins. I really like the idea of it, that everything we do is a creative journey and starts as we begin to fill up our blank pages (add in everyday is a new beginning and everyday we start over with a blank page to make that day our own. Which I don't think I really portray this idea constantly on my blog, but I would like to more.) I want a look to portray that, but don't want just a blank blog.
I checked out some colors, and here are a few of my favorite color schemes from Pinterest:
LOVE love this one!
I love the teal and green, with a pop of yellow.
Ok, so that's all for now... I just wanted to share this with you, in case anyone is interested in any of the classes. Plus I just love color. :) And if I don't write any of this down I'll never remember it. ;)
UPDATE: Here is my Mood Board on Pinterest. This has been a lot of fun! :)
Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!
I'm enrolled in that class too! Only I'm more than a day behind....*sigh*
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks for sharing about this! I am such a dork, I love classes, so this is totally up my alley. I have to say I'm embarrassed at how much I have forgotten about Photoshop and HTML, after having minored in web design in college! I wonder if I can join the class late...
