So here’s the skinny. I have been researching blog design classes, tutorials, designers, templates, you name it in an effort to take my blog design up a notch. I really, really want to do it myself a) because the best person to capture ME in design form is me, and b) because I can’t afford to hire someone to do it. In my search I came across Your Darling Blog Design Workshop. This course looks phenomenal!! Just what I need to take my lackluster blog and turn it into a work of art! I’m dreaming of a beautiful, dreamy, fresh color scheme…
….swash text, hand drawn & watercolor painted accents, and of course coordinating buttons, fonts, and social media icons. My own logo wouldn’t hurt either!
The next workshop begins on October 8, 2012 with registration opening on September 12, 2012.
The course covers an array of design topics including:
- Branding, Design Styles, Colour
- Typography, Layout, Headers
- Menus, Sidebars, Social Media
- Patterns, Textures, Backgrounds, Content
- Posts, Custom Pages, & Promotion
I’m not kidding when I say this course looks amazing and seems to cover it all!
Aww, I actually don't think your blog is lackluster…I love those little vintage flowers in the backround. But, I know what you mean about wanting to handle the revamp on your own. The class looks awesome!!
I think your blog is darling just the way it is! It feels warm and comfortable and that's a compliment. A blog can actually look a little too polished in my opinion. You sometimes loose sight of the girl(or boy) behind the blog. But I love that you want to do it yourself. That's how it works for me. I'm still learning, but I am lucky enough to have a daughter who helps me work through the kinks. The class sounds very informative. Enjoy the process!
