Project Reveal: Poppy and Grace

10.02.18 • Design Work

It’s been a long, long time (almost a whole year!) since I’ve shared some recent work here on the blog, which is a shame considering all the exciting work I’ve been doing! So prepare for a lot of project revels popping up on here 🙂 And without further adieu, let’s take a look at a feminine WordPress blog design that launched back in August!

Brand Inspiration

One of the first things Heather told me was that she wanted something girly, but finding a balance between pink and some of the other brand colors was paramount to her. She also mentioned wanting poppies in her design, both as a nod to the blog’s name but also because The Wizard of Oz is her favorite movie.

With that in mind, I set off to create a mood board inspiration that helped us nailed down the perfect pinks and blues to use in Heather’s new blog design.

The Blog Design

I loved the inspiration sites that Heather linked to, and after nailing down the mood board, the full blog design came together fairly quickly! Some of my favorite touches come from the watercolor poppy details on the header and footer. In fact, this footer might be my favorite footer I’ve EVER designed so be sure to hop on over to Heather’s blog and check it out!
