Blog Header Design: Interrupted Wanderlust

I’m currently working on a design for a blog header, for the blog, “Interrupted Wanderlust“. The author, is actually a freelance writer, and mom to three gorgeous kids.

The brief naturally specified that her three gorgeous bubkins were included in some way, and requested that each kid be given ‘equal billing’ – which I thought was really sweet.

Here you can see how the header is developing.

I started with a cleaner artistic feel, with just two polaroid style photographs. The blue is taken from her blog template.

I moved on from here, to a more tactile looking header, a wooden feel background, and I added some parchment style paper, given that the author is a highly qualified freelance writer, and tucked the photos in here and there, a bit like a desk might be at home.

In this latest version, the blog owner requested a more ‘travel’ feel to the header, given the subject of her blog, and this is why the elements such as the passport, globe, compass and airline boarding pass have been added. I’m eagerly awaiting the latest feedback from the client, as I’m really enjoying this project.

Isn’t it wonderful when you can do what you love for a living?

Update:  Client Loved it! Hurray!
