Custom Blogger Design: Miss Tweedle

My oh' my was this a fun & colorful design to work on. Katie over at Miss Tweedle had a clear vision on what she wanted her new design to be.

Her goal for her blog is for it to become  the "it" blog for the new homemaker. With her talent for cooking, sewing, and more...I have no doubt her blog will spread like wild fire.

Here's part of the "vision" she gave to me to work with:

"Black bold capital font right across the middle of the header quite big saying "Miss Tweedle". Above it, the black silhouette of Miss Tweedle hanging things on the clothesline with heels on and a crinoline apron and the clothes on the line are bright colours like turquoise, fuschia, orange, yellow, lime green and neon pink."

In addition to her home page design, I did 2 custom content pages for her. Custom pages not only help unify your blog, but they also help readers easily navigate around it!

I love being able to take a client's "vision" and make it come to life through design! Thanks for being so great to work with, Katie! Hope you're enjoying your fresh new design! :

Custom Blogger Design: Tiffany Leigh Interior Design

Boy do I have a treat for you all today! I got the opportunity to work with Tiffany over at Tiffany Leigh Interior Design to redesign her blog. She came to me knowing exactly what she wanted, but just needed someone to make it come to life. It was so fun to take her vision and create a web presence that portrayed her as the super talented interior designer she is.

Take a look at the final design AND be sure to scroll down to see the sketch she sent me! 

This is the sketch she sent me!

"First impressions count. That's why I decided to invest in a total blog redesign.
I hired Melissa because her rates are fair and her portfolio is stunning.
She was friendly and professional throughout the entire redesign process, even assuring me that I wasn't being a clientzilla (even though I totally was...a nice one though!). I had a clear vision for the design I wanted, and Melissa really brought it to life. I couldn't be more pleased with the final look! 

Since the launch of my redesign, my number of followers and page views has grown considerably. I'm so excited that Melissa has expanded her services and am looking forward to working with her again in the future"

Custom Blogger Design: The Daily Tay

Okay, folks. Today's feature blog design was for the oh-so-hilarious Taylor over at The Daily Tay. (Not kidding. This girl is laugh-out-loud funny.)

She came to me wanting a very simple, chic design for her daily lifestyle blog. She already knew she wanted a black, white, and yellow color scheme, so the next step was for me to come up with a way to incorporate these colors into her design.

She also knew she wanted to somehow incorporate images into the header. Many times, my clients know exactly what they want, they just need someone else to make it come to life. So that's where I came in. I love being able to take a simple idea and transform it into a design they can be proud of!

Take a look at the finished product!

"I asked Melissa for a design that was "clean, classy and chic." Low and behold, within just hours of installation I already had comments from readers describing my new layout with those exact words! Melissa magically captured the image I had in my head, and transformed it onto my new blog. Melissa was patient, kind and courteous every time she'd send me a new proof and I found a  little detail or button I wanted her to implement. If my words aren't enough to convince you, I'll let the numbers speak for themselves- literally within the first twelve hours of having my new design live I jumped up about 20 followers. You're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but nobody ever said you can't judge a blog by its design. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to any blogger who is contemplating getting a new design. If you're like me, you're on your blog for numerous hours a day, why not make it looks its very best?"

-Taylor at The Daily Tay

Okay peeps, go over and read her blog! I promise that you will be very entertained. While you're there, check out her header design live and in action!

Custom Blogger Design: Type A Kitchen

This custom blog design over at Type A Kitchen was super fun to work on! Allison came to me wanting to incorporate a cutting board pattern into her design somewhere. I love when the opportunity comes to add photographic elements into designs, and I was excited to see what I could think up. 

I wanted to keep the design very clean, in order to stick with that "Type A" theme. So the challenge was to find a balance between the wood pattern & clean-cut typography. After some thought, I decided to design the navigation bar & sidebar labels to look like the type was engraved into the wood. 

Allison also loved the font "Just Another Hand," so we incorporated it along with the bold serif fonts for the header. 

Check out the final design below!

If you're looking for a blog FULL of recipes & food photography, you need to stop over to her blog! Oh, and while you're there, check out the design in action!

Latest Blog & Logo Design: Edit

Okay people. I have to say that is one of my favorite blog designs of all time! I think mainly because of the color palette these wonderful ladies gave me to work with. Edit is made up of 2 sisters and their mom, who recently started a lifestyle blog based in Kansas City. They are planning to grow their blog into an actual boutique in KC, and needed a logo & blog design to brand themselves for this new venture.

So that's where I came in. They wanted their logo to be simple, yet fun. Something that had a tie to typewriters. I designed their logo to subtly resembler typewriter keys. With this simple logo, they will be able to transfer it over to other materials (like shopping bags & t-shirts!) easily.

"When it was time to get serious about blogging together, we received a great recommendation from Kara's sister-in-law, Elizabeth, who has a local food blog in STL. We were thrilled with Melissa's portfolio and even more thrilled at how reasonably priced she was for the talent we received. She was very accessible and interpreted at our needs and

design perfectly.

We are beyond happy with the outcome of our blog. It's fresh, modern and fun, exactly what we asked for." 

-Melina at Edit

You must go over and check out their blog! They are wildly successful in their business ventures, and you might just see a website design for their latest project coming soon ;)
