“I did a bit of re-branding tonight. I’ve got a lot more work to do. I need to slice the nav bar to the right of this post so it’s clickable, create the pages to go along with it, figure out how to get my pictures/videos as big as possible to fill the primary area… and so much more! I’ve got it all figured out in my head, now I just need to execute! Lot’s of exciting developments coming soon! Stay tuned!”

Adobe Creative Suite 6- Looking Fresh!

IT’S NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE…

I WANT TO BE GREAT.

This is a wonderful book. I have read it a few times since I ordered it from Amazon. Nubbytwiglet.com wrote a blog post about it and from what she said I knew I had to get it. I order it right away.

It is super inspirational and makes me really think out of the box. Paul Arden is a famous man in the advertising industry, he’s known for being a genius and very successful. After reading about an architect that wanted all of his stationary to look like it was a banks stationary, I got inspired to change up my blog logo and design. 

So far, I redesigned my header to make it more professional. I even designed it in Illustrator which I’ve never really used yet! I really like it so far, I can’t wait to take a class in it next semester :) I definitely think my new “logo” is much more professional. Now, all I need to do is redesign the entire blog and get all of the crap off of it. I don’t want it to look childish… I want it to be mature and very well designed. 

On another note, my SEVEN classes are going great! I’ve got all A’s at the moment and I plan to keep it that way. I’m doing between two or three assignments per night and this seems to work out to keep me on track. I think I could handle seven more next semester!

What do you think of my new logo?

Do you have a “brand image”? If so, how did you come about it?

How have you marketed your business?

Until next time,
