Chez Spud

I’m getting a makeover. Or rather my blog is. Just feeling like a change, as much as I love the current theme that Genevieve of Lilac Creative wizarded up for me. I’m really thrilled to be working with Genevieve again on a New Look Spud. Despite my best efforts, I seem not to have put her off working with me again. This time I’m really going to test her, mwah ha ha.

Right now I don’t have much of an idea of the detail, but I know I want a cleaner looking space and less ‘stuff’ and colour. Feels kind of busy round here, I think I’d like to change that. The New Look is a lot more muted, I think…and this time I’m going to nail the font because I’ve never ‘really’ been happy with my choice. I will stick with two columns. That’s about as far as I’ve got but I need to get my skates on because work starts in June.

I’m mostly just giddy that I know I’m not going to have to go through the absolutely hideous experience of finding a designer, like I did last time. There was the one that took my money and disappeared, the ones that took the brief and then disappeared, the ones that had no portfolio, the ones that failed for WEEKS to respond to requests for costings. Painful. Unsurprisingly, Sir Google-A-Lot tells me that the two Disappearing Designers are no longer in business and nor is the one that failed to respond to me begging for costings. Tant pis. Their loss is Lilac Creative’s gain since Genevieve is totally reliable, responsive, hugely experienced and all round brilliant.

I will miss the fabulous hand-drawn typewriter and camera from my header though….hmmm….might have to retain them in some way…hmmm.

I’m more than a little bit excited. Anyone got any ideas?
