PSD Makeover: Oh So Very Me

Jenny is actually one of my online friends and so when she signed up I was excited but also nervous at the same time she has a lovely site.

THE PROS

Good Color Scheme
Beautiful Photographs
Great layout overall

THE CONS

No real feature post to show off her beautiful photos
Sidebar a little crowded
A little plain for her quirky personality and great coding skills

THE PLAN

Add a Feature section to highlight the photos

Add a Footer to spread out all the content from the sidebar

Add some quirky fun design elements

THE REDESIGN

Want to Volunteer?

I will create a PSD (photoshop file) redesign of your site. You will also learn about the strengths and weaknesses of your design. I will email you the final PSD file for you to do with as you want.

Basically you will get a free professionally designed concept for your blog and a file you can use to hire someone to create the design (you can use a PSD to HTML service or a web designer to code the design).

Requirements:

WordPress Based Blog or Website
Family Friendly Site

If your interested leave your name, URL, and email in the comments below and let me know you want to volunteer.

Project 52: Bloggy Boot Camp Seattle

This weekend I drove up to Seattle by myself for the first time for Bloggy Boot Camp. It was awesome! I had the most amazing hotel that I got to stay at and I got a photo of myself there as I was walking along their wooded paths.

PSD Makeover: New Critter

This month’s lucky redesign is New Critter. This is actually an old site, but Nichole is hoping to resurrect in the near future.

THE PROS

Very little clutter
Organized
Great concept

THE CONS

Very basic design with no real personality
No social media
Layout really doesn’t highlight each creature

THE PLAN

Change the layout to really showcase each character by adding a slideshow

Make it easier to find the newest creatures by creating a newest critter section

Highlight the categories of the animals by creating a menu

Make a dedicated section for social media

THE REDESIGN

Project 52: Sunshine

The sun is shining and I decided to go out and catch a couple photos. I feel silly sitting in my backyard. Wondering if the neighbors can see me taking photos of myself. Wondering what they think of me always taking photos of myself. Oh well.

Hi I am Pepper, yep that’s my real name, it’s on my birth certificate. I’m an old school blogger going back to her roots. In 1999 I wrote out my feelings and shared my silly random thoughts.

Well I’m back! This is me sharing the real me, hoping that it shows you that hey you aren’t alone in those weird, funny, hard moments in life. I’m putting the pieces of life back together after divorce, emotional abuse and starting out on a new adventure. Want to join me?
