Do You Have Gravatar?
Sep 8th
What is a Gravatar you ask?
The word is an amalgamation of the words Globally Recognised Avatar. Think of it as your Facebook profile photo, without the photo. It’s an image to represent you online, when commenting on blogs etc Each email address ‘persona’ that you have, can have it’s own image. So for example, when I comment on graphic design specific blogs, I use my graphic design identity. When I comment on photography blogs, I use my professional photography email address.
It’s just another way to show your identity online, and keep all your branding in line.
Here’s a gravatar that I’ve just done for this photography website.
It’s in keeping with the Photo Super Hero theme and colours, and now when the admin comments, the comment will be decorated with this cute button. Fun huh? Sometimes I am amazed that I get paid for having this much fun!

Free Blog Button: Autumn up North
Sep 2nd
Because I couldn’t ignore the top half of the planet, in all my smug Springiness from yesterday.
Because it’s about 13 deg Celcius outside and I’m not feeling very Springish today.
Because Design is a totally obsessive pastime that I could not and do not wish to stop doing under any circumstances.
I give you, the Northern Hemisphere Autumn Free Blog Button! You can grab the code here, or find it later on my freestuff/blog buttons section by using the navigation bar across the top of the page. Enjoy!

Matching Banners and Sidebar Bling
Aug 27th
Remember this blog header that I completed a few days ago for one of my regular clients?
Well it now has a 125 x 125px friend to sit in her sidebar, and for her to hand out to all her blogging friends to decorate their sidebars with.
See here?
Now I’m just placing it onto a webserver where it can live out it’s days being broadcast to the world, in all it’s glory and provide it’s owner with much wonder back-link juice.
Now, onto other work, time to make some more money for one day when I’m old, grey, frail and in need of walk in tubs and chairlifts and whatnot. As Suze Orman said on Oprah last night, “Plan for the Worst, Hope for the Best” I say that these are WORDS TO LIVE BY.

Reasonably Priced Blog Headers
Aug 25th
I’ve just completed another blog header project for a regular client. I enjoy her taste, as it’s very similar to my own and it makes for a working relationship that really, well, works!
Here’s a looksee at her blog header for the coming month…
I’m also designing a sidebar button to match, which also denotes this bloggers location. We’ve decided to go with month related themes, and I will be producing a new header for her each month. When you do freelance graphic design work, to pick up this kind of regular work, is absolutely heaven sent. I particularly enjoy this kind of design work too, so hmmm, happy, I am. As Yoda would say.
Of course to pick up another 20 clients just like her, enabling me to not only daydream about the shiny new 24″ iMac I hope to purchase this year, but start to shop for great travel deals too!
Recession? What Recession? Roll on business!
If you are interested in having a blog header/web banners designed by me, please drop me an email, prices start very reasonably from ZAR 75 per item. For international folk, prices are based on the US $, and start from $10. Seriously reasonable folks! Paypal, AlertPay, and Moneybookers Accepted Gladly.
