Lala's Design Corner: Buttons & Headers [#1]
Categories :
Nope, you are not in the wrong place hehe. I am not having a Meme this Monday. I'm sorry to say that I haven't come across a cool one this week and haven't had the inspiration for one either.
However, the biggest reason for skipping Mondays Memes is that I wanted to share with you some of the designs I have made for other people =)
Let me make something clear guys. I have no formal training in Graphic Design and I am NOT a Professional. But I am an artist of sorts and recently I have been able to translate my art and creativity onto the computer screen hehe.
I have so much to thank my Twitter Followers and Friends. Word of mouth has really made it possible for people to see what I can do. I just needed a creativity outlet and I am so happy that you all have made it possible =)
How did this whole thing started? Well, it started because I wanted to have a personalized header for my blog and just couldn't afford to get a professional to design it. I went on a journey of trial and error and I have to confess there was sooooo much error LOL. In the end I was really happy with the results and started experimenting with buttons and images and the rest is history =)
I wanted to make this post funny and cute and it came out all serious LOL I blame Sagi fromSagi's Randomnes for putting pressure on me to be funny. NOT FAIR! hehe
Ok, so on with the Designs...
- This is the most recent one. I made the header and the button for Wendy at The Book Lush:
- This header and button were made for The Smut Slut Sisterhood:
- The one on the left was made for Chris from The Pirate's Bounty. He has a new blog and this was the button I made for him.
- On the right was a twitter joke that turned into a button LOL.
- These two were made for Pat at Peace, Love and Pat. Special buttons for a Giveaway and a new feature at her blog =)
- The one on top is the button I made for Veronica at Strictly Reviews =)
- On the bottom is the one I made for Sagi at Sagi's Randomness =)
Besides these ones, all the buttons and images for this blog were made by me. I also have a couple that I made and am making that have still to be debuted, I will show you guys when they are =)
If you want a button for header for your site I would be more than happy to make you one.
All I ask in return is that you add one of my blog's button to your blog. That's it!

I am sorry! I LOVE the awards you give me and I wish I didn't have to do this, but my blogging schedule in general has not made possible for me to follow the requirements for the awards I receive.
Because of that, I feel that this is for the best.

It looks like you enjoy your art! I am a designer and I must say that there is no "bar" for art. If you design you ARE by definition a designer. Be proud and continue to enjoy yourself!!!
I just saw the badge you designed for the New Year's Eve Zombie Party Heather and I are planning over at Book Obsessed. I LOVE it! What a fun and eye-catching design! You really captured the spirit of what we're doing. Thanks so much!!!
I like the work, It reminds me of my crazy time doing buttons and badges before life was all about writing and cover art.
Im a graphic designer myself and I miss the simple time of just doing art for "fun". I should get back to that.
I think its all really great, and wheres the Team Sholto button? LOL
Thank you guys soooo much for the support =))) It mean the world to me!
@Nancy
I am so happy you liked the button. It has become my favorite one =)))
@Stella

Wow, I'm so in awe for your talent. I'm kind of blanking out for the stupid button but I will get an idea very soon. I'm way to critical for my own good. LOL
