We have a lot of catching up to do, my friends! May has been much kinder to me, but I'm still as busy as ever. I'll try to fill you in on all my work and life happenings over the next few weeks. First, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite projects to date that launched last month...
...The redesign of food and photography blog Shutterbean.com! You may remember Tracy Benjamin as one of my Friends & Neighbors featured last year (a feature I hope to revive soon). She's been a steadfast friend and supporter of mine for years, so when she asked if I would help redesign her blog I had to say yes. Not only do we both like a good dose of carbs, but we also share a love of typography. Finding inspiration was easy. My challenge was to create a type-centered design that also provided a clean canvas for her photography. Tracy has been blogging for several years, so I also helped her organize the overwhelming amount of content.
Two of my favorite features are above. The chalkboard menu inspired navigation box (left) and the bistro menu inspired recipe index (right), the latter of which will get your mouth watering in no time. I also created a recipe card that clicks to a printable version, which you will no doubt be using over and over again because her recipes are that good.
