A New Type of Template Design: Meet Hills! You can dress her up!

My design work has changed over the last few years that I have been doing this, but what I've noticed is that a lot of you like to change up your designs, either seasonally or just on a whim. To purchase a custom design each time can get rather expensive so, to battle this, I've thought up a rather unique way of handling this. I'm going to whip up an avatar and you will be able to dress her up in different templates throughout the year. Same avatar, same look --- just new clothes, or new holiday themes to go with the avatar. So, your blog will retain continuity throughout the year, but you'll be able to keep things changing and fresh, without the price of a complete blog design. The first avatar is a cute blond girl, that I've nick named Hill's. Currently Hill's has one main template (meaning it comes included with graphics geared specifically for a book blog), two "dress-up" templates and a Christmas and New Year's look. You can view the templates live and purhcase the files below. Features: All templates are able to be modifed via the Blogger template Designer. Seasonal designs will be published during their respective holidays and can actually be requested Expected designs to come: Mardi Gras, Easter, Summer, Fourth of July, If you have any problems with this design please email me at parajunkee at cox dot net

Gaga Over KMM & My First Mac Halo

Meet the Book Nympho....thebooknympho.blogspot.com

Directions: I want a dark & sexy feel to the blog, since most of the books I read have both. But I'm ok with a humor element as well. So if you want to add a campy vampire element I'm cool with that.
Genres I read:
Paranormal Romance | Urban Fantasy | Young Adult (paranormal themed) |
Erotic Romance (paranormal &"normal")

The following images are copyrighted by The Book Nympho and are not for general use. They are for display purposes, please do not steal.

Client Feedback:

HOLY FREAKING COW!!! I love it. - The Book Nympho

Keeping it Simple...From the TBR Pile

All images are copyrighted by From the TBR pile and are not for anyone's use but theirs.


Design specs: 

"clean and uncluttered"

We like our basic color scheme, the light bluish/aqua.  We don't want anything too cluttered.  We'd like something pretty and some clean lines, nothing really cartoony looking...and something building off our blog title....a pile of books or something...

She's Bona Fide...

Welcoming in a new design to the book blogger world today. Bona Fide Reflections has been given a face lift. Directions given included an avatar update, mature and a bit sexy, but not overly in-your-face, a purple color scheme, to expand on the the thought-bubble idea and embellishments to give it a softer look.

Clients thoughts after the blog went live:

"I love the avatar a lot, I love the colors scheme, I love the romantic thougts, I love the reflection of the word reflections, the sparse plant life since I won't have much time to keep them watered, hehehe..."

Nothing left out...

Andra of Unabridged Andra had only a few stipulations, she loved purple and blues and she had a graphic that she had purchased already. With that to go on I think I came up with a very clean design...

See the blog live.

What did Andra have to say about her design? Link to rave post.

"I seriously cannot rant and rave enough about how freaking awesome Parajunkee is! She went above and beyond to create this amazing layout. She added all sorts of extras that I didn't even think to add and I pretty much love her forever. Seriously...she rocks my face off. The. END.

SO...All I can say is a HUGE Thank You to PJ and I hope I can somehow pay her back in some way...though I have absolutely no clue what that would be...lol" -Andra

I Have a Confession to Make...

MyShelfConfessions.com is a book blog that specilizes in the genres of Mystery/Thriller/Suspense, Dystopian, Young Adult, Paranormal Fiction and Urban Fantasy. April that runs the blog was very specific in her likes. She loves purple and teal, argyle and she wanted a vampire avatar that her finger up, "shushing" like she had a secret.

This blog is a self-hosted Wordpress blog and I worked within the Chip-Life template.

What April says about the design:

Hi Rachel, I love it all! Think it looks great!

There are also a few other images that are included with April's package.

Making Mojo

Jessica Wisniewski is a teacher in the Chicago suburbs and currently trying to get her first novel MoJoFingers published. From the description she gave me "black or cement gray background, and a sort of graphic novel feel" and then the description of her characters - middle grade super heroes, we came up with this design.

What Jessica has to say about her design:

Rachel -

I LOVE it!  You = Awesome with a side of Awesome Sauce!  I love the graphic quality of the lettering, the colors, and the little sketches up at the top!  SO COOL!

Thanks,

Jess
