What's yellow, grey, and sparkly all over? The new LCY!
You may have noticed your favorite blog got a makeover. No no, don't click over to your favorite blog. That's just mean. I am talking about this blog! My sister told me I needed to go bigger and better with my blog header. (Thanks, a lot, sis.) Of course, I liked my previous header. But I can't think of a time in my life when I didn't take my big sister's advice. After all, sisters never lie. So, I thought about what she said... and this is how I responded.
(Cut to readers' eyes darting around the website, taking in the new design. Audible chorus of oohing and aahing follows.)
Thoughts?!
All jokes aside, if you really like what you see, the good news is that I offer my graphic design services at a ridiculously good price! You can buy graphics a la carte or as a package. In addition to custom header designs, other features include a variety of blogger essentials:
business cards
(Ask any blogger who was in NYC this week - these are VERY helpful! Networking, people! Rome was not built in a day, and neither is a blog.)
-------
I also offer logos, buttons, Etsy headers... you name it - Photoshop, Illustrator and I can do it.
The process is as collaborative as you want it to be. Send me a zip file of inspiration images to work from, or tell me your favorite color and I'll run with it.
-------
I'm not going to lie - makeovers are fun!
You get all sorts of compliments:

ReplyDelete-older sister
I L-O-V-E it! when I decide to change mine Ill email you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am really loving your new identity! As a graphic designer myself, I know how big a deal it is to recreate work for yourself! I really love how you incorporated the glitzy texture while maintaining a very graphic feel with the type-- love. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say I love the sequins? Something about sparkly things get me every time...
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm in your post! Seriously though, I LOVE the redesign. I've always wanted to ask you if you offered up your design expertise, but I figured you were too busy with Rue. I love your style and will definitely be in touch sooner rather than later! [I have a wedding to get through first -- not mine. But you know, showers, bachelorettes, hotel rooms, gifts -- it all adds up.]
ReplyDeleteSorry for the novel of a comment. =)
LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it... and if I haven't directly said it...
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on having a dream come true (with Rue, that is:).
Love the updated and edgy look. I will definitely be e-mailing you!
ReplyDeleteYour new look is so vibrant and matches your warm and sparkling personality. Such fun!x
ReplyDeletewow, this is quite a change ~ It all seems very you, and I do like the sparkles and switch to white background ~ well done! xo

ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind me asking...did you use Century Gothic as the font for the line that says "a lifestyle blog by Alaina Kaczmarski"?
I've been looking for a nice, crisp font!
It looks great! A total refresh, open, light, bright and airy. love
