A while ago I offered Just Miss a custom wordpress theme as a birthday present. I wasn’t sure whether she’d take me up on it, but in one of my afternoon design-y moments I designed and tweaked (and tweaked and tweaked) a possible theme and sent it her way. She might like it, she might hate it, she might not want to use it. Such is the way of presents, I think.
But I have to say that when someone you’ve created something for LOVES it, it is pretty much in my top 5 awesome feelings ever.
So I developed the theme (not without some serious frustration at DTR) and once it was all bug free she launched a fancy new site (justonemiss.com), with a fancy new theme!
Perhaps it’s just me, but I get such a kick out of seeing my designs in use. Seeing her blog rock my design all sweet like. Watching the comments and tweets roll in as she got more and more complements about it. Warm Fuzzies all round, I think.
There is a flickr photo pool that starts with ‘Design Is’. They have wallpapers that say things like ‘Design is Thinking Made Visual‘ or ‘Design is Created Reality‘ but really?
Design is AWESOME.
[Edit: After Kyla's super kind comments, I work for Sinter Design and Development, and if you'd like a wordpress theme, or a website or whatever you can reach me there, or you can find me on Etsy. :)]
Can I just say: THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. Great work!! That’s way better that pretty much all of the designers out there that I see. Wonderfully done! If you ever make a design site I will direct people to you with whatever gusto I can muster, for the record. Just let me know! =)
I’ve seen this site somewhere. ;-)
@Kyla – Wow, thanks! I appreciate the praise :) I can be reached at two places, one is at Sinter (which is my design company. Kind of in need of a redesign itself, actually) or at my Etsy store :)
@Jesse – Ha! Yes you have :)
Oh wow!
It looks completely fantastic — you’re brilliant, I must say!
@Desiree – thanks! I’m pretty stoked with all the wonderful feedback I’m getting – it’s great! :)
It’s my favorite site ever! If only for the KICK ASS DESIGN! ;-)
Thank you , thank you, thank you again and again!!
@Miss – Haha, I’m SO SO glad you liked it! And your most welcome, it was a fun design to do, and it looks like we both got loads of kudos for it :) Yay!
