Here is the last in the series of blog headers that I’ve been doing for a fellow blogger.
To recap, here is the progression of development…
We went with the basic idea of a navy blue, and orange, to fit in with her blogs current template. The instructions were to produce an 800x150px blog header that was clean, simple, not too girly, a bit edgey.
We headed off in a slightly more artistic vibe here with the paint splash, and a bolder title.
We decided to bring back the header to a less bold, slightly more feminine font, return to the orginal orange brief, and retain a sense of edginess by using a cosmic-type graphic in the background, adding depth to the header.
Because I like to throw out a ‘what if’ to my clients to expand their initial brief, and provide them with options, I developed this whilst busy also developing her specified brief. While it was well received, the ‘Bond Girls’ were deemed a tad too s3xy for this mom of three.
So we head back to the original navy and orange, and we introduce her tagline. However in this particular version, the web colours were a bit too pink, so I went and designed some more! I’m definitely doing the right job, because I actually like it when I get to carry on with a project.
So I scaled back completely, brought the header back to the navy, orange and black brief, and went for bold graphics on the left, with the clients font of choice on the right, and included the tagline.
At this stage it looks as though this blog header is the winner, although my personal opinion (which is irrelavant here, I know, but still) leans towards the one at the very top. Although I must say, I really like all of them, and would use various versions of these on my own blogs.
What do you guys think? Which one is your favourite?
