My header is new (for those of you that are here for the first time) and a little over a week ago I posted the one designed by Lemon Cherry Blogs. I love the illustration so much--I think for the winter I’ll have her draw me wearing boots and a turtleneck!
Then a few days later, my good friend Guylaine Rondeau, a very talented graphic designer who has been in the business for 20 years, decided my new header needed some more white space; which by the way, she wrote about [here] on her blog. So for my birthday she tweaked my already beautiful header and emailed it to me.
When I saw the new font she had chosen (with the addition of the row of colour on the top and bottom which was a wonderful and happy touch) I asked her why it was not centered? She said, “That would be like what people do with their furniture without a designer, they line it up all around the room, instead of arranging their furniture so that it creates a conversation area”. It reminded me of a statement Nate Berkus once made on Oprah, “It’s like your furniture is all under arrest!”.
I especially loved the way she left the ends of the header open, it looks great! Thank you Guylaine at Guylaine Rondeau Design and Katie Lane at Lemon Cherry for my beautiful and colourful header!
