Alex from Blethering About Books asked me to give her blog a full makeover. She really wanted a pastel-hued design that gave her whole blog a light and "airy" feel to it. She asked for a custom-drawn vector of herself reading in a comfy chair with a cup of tea, and she also wanted her layout to be widened to include 3 columns with custom fonts installed into her sidebar widgets...
As we started the design, I found this totally cute photo from the 1920's that I thought we could use for inspiration in Alex's vector character-- I just loved the way the girl had her leg up in the air, all into her book, and Alex agreed that this would be so adorable to use as a model for her own character! So below you can see the photo we were inspired by, Alex's old design, and her all-new design at Blethering About Books! And of course, be sure to grab her flashy new button for your blogs at the bottom of this post! :D
