This is another project of mine- the weight loss blog I keep was collecting enough recipes that I thought I should launch a child blog to house them exclusively. As you can see, I kept the style of the graphics the same, but shifted them from scales and measurements to forks and spoons. I also subtly shifted the color palette to something sunnier. Deb’s Cooking! Thank you to the kind person who sent bought the two of us “lunch”. We truly appreciate your generosity! We probably won’t actually buy lunch, but will put it towards groceries instead. You’ve just bought us 2 or 3 days of home-cooked dinners! Thank you again so much! I finally got around to adding some photos to my beadwork page. Please head on over there and see some of my creations. That’s just a small sampling of what I could create for you. I know, I started this when, back in July of 2011 I think? If I had stuck with the original rules, I would have been done by August, easily. But instead I opted to work on them in ten minute batches, one day at a time, until I decided they were right. Obviously that could take months, right? I didn’t really think of that at the time. Anyway, yesterday I started working on them again, breaking them down on the site into completed and not completed. A few of them that I had designated as unfinished actually seemed finished after not looking at them once for 6+ months. I’ve managed to finish a few of the others, make some changes to a few more, and there’s some I haven’t touched yet. But at this point about 50% are deemed finished. Check them out. Suggestions are always welcome for those in progress- sometimes I get stuck and need an outside nudge to get going again. After what seems like an eternity with the site having the same old look, I decided to get on the ball and change things up some. I had just recreated my header on my personal site, Deb’s Losing It, and had made a dolly of myself for that header. After it was done, I realized with a few things changed, that header could do dual-duty here as well, assuming I freshened up some of the other graphics. The header was replaced with a new one, the page background was created from thin air, and the colors of the menus, links, and text sizes were updated, as well as some of the information was redistributed and better arranged. All in all, I am thrilled with the changes, and I think it all came together really nicely. Whether your new here or an old friend, have a look around, and enjoy your visit. I love having friends stop by! Partial set of icons for Deb’s Losing It website’s blog categories and link categories. You can see the complete set (some re-use images) at the site.
This was a very simple and clean top banner for a blog I stumbled across one day. I saw the original banner, and I just had to do something about it. This version really tied the whole page together and made it more balanced then the original banner did. As you can see today, when you came to this site, you had to go through a click-through. This is because this site, as well as my personal site, are showing a virtual blackout for today and the 24th as well in protest of SOPA/PIPA. If these pass, the internet will never be the same again. Freedom of expression will be severely censored, and practically anything could get your site blacklisted and blocked. You don’t know much about SOPA/PIPA? Check out this page on Wikipedia, this infographic and this PDF file to learn the basics of why and how this will destroy our internet. Not only will it destroy our freedom to be creative, it will destroy and prevent jobs from forming, damaging our already struggling economy even more. Please contact your representatives and tell them not to vote to pass SOPA/PIPA! SOPA is shelved for now, but PIPA is still very much alive and threatening. It only takes a minute to do something. Click the second link above and add your name to the petition. On the Deb’s Losing It blog, the links page utilizes images for each link. To make the links look more organized and uniform, a series of simple buttons were created for each link category. They all feature the same border, and the same color and style of text, but the images and wording changes to match the category. You can see the images in action here.

Graphics & colors have been changed somewhat for Spring. There’s a new header image, pplus a graphic-based category menu has been added to the top of the site as well for easier browsing. |
