The Redneck Mommy Transforms Herself Into the Inimitable Tanis Miller

Tanis Miller, the woman behind The Redneck Mommy for the last seven years, decided that it was time to move on from her initial incarnation and take ownership of her own name, and she came to me to help her make the transition to TanisMiller.com. We chose to take a much more pared down approach aesthetically while still retaining some of her attitude (she has heaps of attitude, which is what makes her so darn popular). She didn't want to lose her old blog altogether, so we migrated her old blog to her new Squarespace 5 home from WordPress, and we tucked it away within her new site as an earlier chapter to her present work.



I also created page and header backgrounds for her Twitter page.



She has had two weeks now to settle into her new weblog, and she's been doing it with her usual panache, drinking pink wine with ice cubes and raising a ruckus. Head on over and welcome her home!

PhD in Parenting Gets a New Look and a New Platform

I paired up with Annie of PhD in Parenting to help her with her move from WordPress to Squarespace 5 and to give her website an aesthetic overhaul. She wanted a template that reflects her blog's focus on feminism, social change, and parenting, but she also wanted it to reflect a sense of diversity. I think we pulled it off.



Once we settled on the above weblog design, I gave both her Twitter and Facebook pages looks that mirror her blog design:





She has had more than a month already to settle into her new platform and look, but you should still drop in on her and tell her hello. Bloggers like that kind of thing.

Native-Born.com Gets a New Masthead!

Faiqa of Native Born asked me to design a new masthead for her, and I, of course, said yes. Who could look at this face and say no?



Go check her out, because Faiqa's one smart cookie.

A Round-Up of Work from May to October

Normally, I post completed design work here as I go, but things have been busy since the summer between work, conferences, and home buying, so I have been slack with the updates. In order to catch up, I'm just going to throw it all here in one post.
