A New Design

I have spent a long time on this design today, the colours for the site are what came first, and really are the big focus here. They were inspired by my lovely new Paper Chase pencil case!

I took a photo of my lovely pencil case and put it onto my computer, and then after a little tweaking I freshly plucked the colours out of paint shop pro and put them into illustrator. I was practicing making pretty swirls and shapes at the time, and after a while I found myself creating a large piece of colourful-swirly artwork.

Next, I cropped pieces out of the ‘artwork’ and sort of arranged them until I was happy with the result, and voila - the header for this gorgeous new layout was born.

After a long while, and many cups of tea later, the style sheet for my new creation was completed. It took a few hours and created a massive pain in my head… but now it’s done. I can finally rest. I now know how new Mom’s feel.

I have just proverbially given birth a new, wonderful, colourful baby layout.

I have another few days to myself this week, I cannot believe it! A couple of days devoted to all things web! I have many many ideas for this site… only never enough time to see them through!

Thank you to colourlovers.com for enabling me to create palettes for inspiration, and to bittbox.com for advice on swirling!
