Another Holy Header Design :)

Lets start with a personal favor, and a personal favorite :)

Jason got an idea to play off the Mobster, Mafia Wars craze that we are all so addicted to in my house. So he needed something along the same lines as the social site apps. Strong lines and a recognizable style. I love this one. The guy kinda looks like him too :)

Now for the second one, he wasn't really sure what he wanted yet. But he knew clean and official was what he wanted. Also he really liked the mass control insignia - really added something. Looks pretty koo too ;)

Done and Done, Blog Header Turn out

Here we go:

The first client Marcelle has a "tips for beginning gardeners" site.

Simple and clean as part of a wordpress blog :) I had a beautiful graphic I've been waiting to use. We'll see how it looks overall.

Now from there she really stressed the importance of having a killer menu.

Now I have a buddy, he's been a friend to Jason and me for years - and he's up and climbing in the IM world. Short and sweet - he does brilliant flash. Banners, ads, headers, and it all functions. So I asked him to take what I had done so far and put something quick together just to give Marcelle an idea of how it would look and fuction. Then I asked him to give me a quote for his services.

Now flash takes a sec to do, I know that, pretty difficult stuff. I like flash but I think it takes time away doing something I'm not crazy about so... Do what you love, and stay focused. I'll leave the flash stuff to him.

Here's a link to the flash header in action:

He gave me a quote of $197 for a pimpin flash header based on my designs.

Now in his own words he did say "if they want to keep a link to your blog right in the header such as a 'designed by HeadersForBlogs.com' we can cut her a serious deal cause we'll get free traffic"

((Pretty good I think considering design guru Ryan's headers run about $299 no flash.))

Anyway, if your interested in these flash services lemme know, I'll add a button for him too, over here -->

Moving on-

This second header is for a friend of mine, Jambhala - really cool guy doin a ton of environmental research in Belize. He had a blog but just the basic text header - so I wanted to make something cool and 2.0 looking. Here's what we got.


All and all - lots of fun research this round.

Digg the Future of Blogging?

According to this pretty convincing article, I might have stumbled upon the future of blogging. It's called lifestreaming. Sync'd and automatically updated logs of your fun daily activities online - so in other words - you don't keep up with a blog, the blog keeps up with you :)

Check it out, and leave some comments people - I would love to know if you support or revolt the future of blogging :)

Here's the article:

- Either way, you'll still want a killer header - so I'm kool :)

Another Sweet Blog Header Project - Done :)

Alrighty, this client is building a blog on a fantastic idea.

User language exchange - I just got my Rosetta Stone Software - so I was really excited to see this come through. He wanted a 2.0 look but with a focus on "a bunch of gals and guys" from around the world. :)

I think the base of 2.0 is big, easy words, with lots of simplistic lines. I made 3 versions, and this one has all the elements he asked for...

Next we have a header for a blog I'm working on where people can have custom audio messages recorded. Streaming audio is great for raising conversions on a site - I know, I tested ;)

Again you can see tons of unique images and fonts that I bought - just for these projects.

I spent the weekend hunting them down, and getting the last few books and posters to start my son Aaron's schooling, good stuff.

Thank you for reading and checking out my work ;)

If you are building a blog or are already addicted to one - drop me a line, we'll create a header that reflects your professional passion!

Killer New Blog Header Designs

Here's some of the latest projects:

This first one was for a client that was creating a new blog - empowering the middle class to break away and make more income going into business for themselves.

This was serious business and could not look like another cookie cutter scam.

So we kept it professional , but at the same time on the left side used a real person :)

(As soon as his blog is done you'll be able to click here and view it in full)

++++++

Next we have a header for a blog for newbies that teaches thru video blog posting:

Next we have a personal journal blog - giving all the details - good and bad about past relationships. We can tell the blogs main voice will be a woman and the content will be intimate.

++++++

Now something else I realize is all the headers showcased open the blogs in new windows. And it struck me, the more clients the more referrals = more traffic for the blog headers showcased.

Fantastic! That's a bonus I didn't even consider...

Like I've said in previous posts - you will find my prices to be very fair. I only ask enough to keep my 3 kids fed, happy and educated :)

All my images are unique to your header and I love to hunt down just the right fonts...

Blogs are not only a way some people supplement and earn an income...

They are also a very personal form of expression for an individual. Blogs take our favorite subjects and share them with the cyber world.

From marketing to poetry to pottery, you love what you do and express it in a way that's both person and professional.

This is my passion.
