The Dream Pantry

Wordpress design for a personal blog. Design and coded by Silhouette Graphics for The Dream Pantry.

I just completed a project for The Dream Pantry on wordpress. The customer wanted a design that was fun and looked like a pantry (bet you picked up on that by their name though). My concern with the project was that I didn't want it to look like there was too much going on (like my pantry). The client has a lot of content she is going to be placing on the site so my main goal was to make sure the navigation and text were more predominant then the images.


I am really looking forward to what this site is going to look like once the content gets on the site and new fun posts are going up regulary. I think its going to be a lot of fun to follow. :)

I spent yesterday organizing fonts. That's right. In one of my brighter moments I borrowed a disk from a friend with a zillion fonts and installed them all onto my laptop.
Know what you don't need? A zillion useless fonts. I got to the letter I and called a quits yesterday. I'm pretty sure I got my font folder down to a million fonts to sift through...
Really should have thought that one out.

Playing around with fonts

When will the world be rid of IE?

I just ran through a very easy tutorial online to play with some fonts. It was basic and I knew that, but it was a good refresher of some very basic tools I overlook sometimes.

I haz a new post!

The other day I saw a picture with a kitty whose head was in a bag. The caption was "OMG! NARNIA!" Something about this had me truly laughing out loud. Normally silly animal pics may get a half smile or something but that one really struck me as funny. I hope you see it someday and smile too - if not giggle hysterically out loud.

Guilt Myself

Dear Miss Kita
Why don't you update me more often? You never show us all the creative adventures you get into. You update Pass the Sushi often, like twice a week often.... and yet I sit here dormant... longing for some attentions....

Yes, that's right, I wrote a letter from my web space to myself because I am feeling guilty about neglecting it.

Someday I'll feel guilty enough to do something about it. lol

In the mean time, I was inspired to doodle today by the work of this artist on deviantart. The big hips and crazy hair are awesome. Hopefully, I'll take a stab at colouring them too.

Time for it all

I can't imagine what my life would be like if I was a 9-5 desk person. I'm pretty sure I'd be miserable and probably not nearly as creative. I certainly wouldn't have the time or energy to keep up with all of my hobby's and projects.
I am secretly working on a new project that I hope comes through. Just another thing to ad to the pile. :P I wouldn't have it any other way.
This image is just a quick splash for the portfolio. The stock image of the woman is from this artist.

You know, the internet makes ANYTHING normal. Where I can no longer spend hours googling things just to see what comes up you can always leave the internet feeling better about yourself. I don't have the same love for it as I may have once had. I am jaded by the over abundance of things that I don't need to know or want to find. But seriously, if your a 400 lb peanut butter lover with a thing for open toed shoes on people of a short stature who only wear the color black on every third Tuesday in the month - you can find a board, blog, twitter and facebook fan page for that.
Just a quick image I threw together myself. Credit for the stock photo goes to this artist.
