My first blog re-design! Well, designing for someone else, that is. I've worked on my own blogs, destroying my coding, and then bringing it back to life again, but I finally talked someone into letting me work with their own baby, their pride and joy!
Hayashi Photography's CEO and head photographer is an old friend of mine from college. We met in a physics class. She was a photography major, and I was looking into physical therapy at the time (because of that physics class, I didn't pursue a career in PT). There was only a handful of girls in the class, so she and I stuck together.
Now years later, we've bother graduated, she has her own photography studio, and I'm working my little corner of the design world.
Check her stuff out!

Your Shade of Color Blog Design
 |
| Source |
Your Shade of Color has been getting a face lift! I'm still working on getting buttons and such, but here's a first look at what we've got going on. The photography for the header and button are both original and the title of the blog came from a talk that can be found here.
"We build that unity and share our unique colors through benevolence: individual acts of kindness. Have you ever felt lonely? Do you notice those who are lonely, living in a black-and-white world? Young women, I’ve watched as you bring your unique color into the lives of others with your smiles, your kind words, or a note of encouragement."
With this design, we wanted to bring out the uniqueness that can lift and help others. Keep an eye open for this blog as it is only going to become better with time!

Where's your blogging megaphone?
Okay, so you have a blog.
Sure, it's probably pretty basic, but you aren't trying to impress people with pretty colors. You want them to come to your blog because of you, right?
Finding the right "voice" is hard! I get that!
Come on...I have a degree in English and was always changing my "voice", sometimes having three different "voices" in a day for three different papers. Let me tell you, I ended up getting really confused at times and sometimes forgot who I was. Well, it was never that drastic, but I would sometimes speak in really odd sentence structures. And while I was writing a huge paper, I ended in this super formal relationship with a guy who I realized I really didn't like. I'm not a formal person by nature, but since I was writing a formal paper, it just wiggled its way into my speech. The relationship was not genuine and there was discord and lack of connection. I don't suggest you try it.
Without further words, may I present
(I'd link up to it, but I can't seem to figure out how to...so bear with me)
