Nilda wanted a clean, crisp, organized feel for her craft blog (inspired by a machine called the cuttlebug). I really love the white space and clean lines. There is just enough contrasting color in the header and navbar to make it feel interesting but not cluttered. She also asked me to make some blinkies for her. I hadn't made blinkies before but I figured I could learn. Here are the two we came up with. Both were slightly modified versions of some earlier blinkies she had had made.
Blinkies take a lot more work than I expected. It's like creating your own cartoon. To make the image move you have to compile individual frames. So for the round button above I ended up making a total of 32 frames, each with a minute detail change. Phew!
Lindsay's aunt Amanda purchased a Basic Design to spruce up her blog. I love her carefree teenage style.
