Lala's Design Corner: Buttons & Headers [#1]

14 comments

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!

You can contact me by leaving a comment here with your email. Email me at larissa@larissaslife.com or on the Contact link at the menu on the top.

Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you soon!

xoxo

    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!!!

  2. 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!!!

  3. 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

  4. Thank you guys soooo much for the support =))) It mean the world to me!
