Blog Help [More:]So, I really want to make a banner/header for my blog.

I've googled but never really figured out a cool way to do it.

Any advice? Help? How about a contest?

Kidding. But I would welcome any of your brilliance if you want to throw it my way. $$$ or a gift from the wishlist could be arranged in exchange.

So what are you thinking of, looks-wise? Color, typography, imagery, theme? I've made headers for friends websites before, although I'm not sure I have the means to make something really super right now, I can certainly help some...I'm not one to talk because my own blog looks like a pile of blogger template poo right now and has been sorely neglected, haha...

What do you want to evoke when people hit your front page?

Ooooh, good question.

I would love to work with the title -- capture the idea of life in flux...but I have no idea how to do that.

I've always loved pink so that makes me happy. But I struggle with readability in the rest of the blog because I wonder if its too dense.

Certainly, I am.

that's a great Holly Golightly pic of you : >

look around other blogs and steal one you like and adjust it in photoshop or another image program... i can see a nice script font for you.

When I think flux, I think period. How about a menses themed banner?


(I am so a freaking branding guru. Why has no one tapped my genius yet is beyond me)

Well Lola I tried to make a fakey suggestion mockup, give me a minute here and I'll either link them or e-mail them to you...

How about something like these:

one

two, which is pretty much the same thing fussed with a bit

I'm assuming you mean you wanted to just change up what you had there already...as a former journalist, I have to tell you that warping that text made me feel a little sick...display fonts...*shivers*

SASS, Those are so great.

Amazing!

I think the second one might be the winner!
