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

6 comments
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

Teens Read & Write Launches

6 comments
I was approached my the teenage geniuses behind Teens Read & Write: Alyssa, Jake & Gregory to redo their blog. They already had a fancy wordpress design, but another blogger had popped up with the same design and they were ready for a new one...so luckily they came to me to *Pimp their blog*. (I'm trying to be young and hip - is that still in?) I just want to say these guys were the most hilarious clients I have ever worked with.  They definitely made my job a lot more interesting and I think if I would have gotten an email like this everyday I would have given them a 50% discount!

This was the initial go-by email:

Overall the design can't be too girlie (because the two nimrods would smother me in my sleep), or too romantic (refer to previous 'smothering' comment) and really, I'm not much into that either. We all like more of the dark, mysterious and dangerous vibe, but we also enjoy wit and humor thrown in. Am I making any sense? Too much info? Does this help at all?



Okay, the two dorks just came back in and here are Jake's comments. I'll give you quotes:


JAKE: "It must have wizards fighting dragons that look like books. Then I could photoshop Gregory's face on one of the dragons and put my face on one of the majestic wizards so it looks I'm defeating Gregory. Alyssa could be a heavily cleavaged princess in distress. Wouldn't that be awesome!"

GREGORY: "Wait, why am I the wimp?"

JAKE: "You're not a wimp. You're a dragon."

GREGORY: "But I'm a wimpy dragon if I'm getting beaten by a lame wizard like you. And since when does Alyssa have heavy cleavage?"

JAKE: "It's fantasy. Shut up. I'm older. You have to do what I say."

Then they started a pillow fight and ran out of the room (screaming like girls, I might add.) We could start our own reality show!



This ended the email and I was left scratching my head. Then I got this wonderful graphic representation of what the email was referring to from Jake. Pretty handy with Photoshop right?


Yet, I thought the dragon might be a bit too much.  Too scaly for the female demographic.  I suggested something furrier but with a bit of a bite.  Say... a rabid squirrel.  They seemed to like my idea.  So we were in agreement.  Wizard, Chesty Damsel, Rabid Squirrel.


The final product can now be seen on their blog.  And low and behold I also added a dragon - sans the fire breathing aspect. Look close can you find the squirrel?

Do you want an original design? Tired of seeing YOUR template all over the place? Well you have come to the right place! (yeah this copy is cheesy but does it get your excited???)

I am an award winning graphic designer & web designer (please hold the applause - it was a little award - from the state of Louisiana) who just happens to love to blog. I'm spreading the love and trying to earn the big bucks by customizing templates for those of you that appreciate my artistic abilities. To see examples of my work, please use the navigation on the top of sidebar.
