Happy Friday! Today I’m headed to Comic-Con to get down with my bad, nerdy self. I haven’t been to Comic-Con since my one-time stint in high school, so I’m excited to attend again! I saw that they have a Pokemon tournament on the schedule and my inner geek is currently hyper-ventilating into a paper bag.
If your Friday is packed with a little more normality, then I’ve got a couple recent blog designs to share with you. These designs land on differing ends of the spectrum: one being sleek and modern and the other being natural and organic. I love the way they both turned out. Take a look!
Criss Cross Culture
When Joyce contacted me to design her site, her most recent post was titled, “Why Asian Men Are Sexy.” I knew we’d get along juuust fine. Joyce wanted something modern and unisex, that pulled elegant, old-school inspiration from Wed Anderson movies. Check out her finished site here.


Amanda Naturally
Amanda is a super sweet nutritionist and health coach who wanted a launching pad for her services and a place to share her expertise with her readers. Given her holistic approach, we opted for an organic looking site, with textures you can feel and delicate earthy colors. Check out her finished site here.

Hi Mel:
Comic-Con sounds great! Someday I hope to be able to attend at least one Comic-Con and make ‘cosplay’. Since I live outside the US I need to save some money but I’ve wanted to go there with a friend from some time ago.
I always love your designs, I liked both of them since they’re simple and beautiful. And about Criss Cross Culture, before reading your paragraph, my eyes went to the title of “Why Asian Men Are Sexy” I must go and read that article 😛
Have a nice weekend ♥.
You should definitely attend one day! Tons of people were in cosplay — you’d fit right in!
And thank you for your kind words! You should definitely read that article. 🙂
Looking at your other designs is making me so excited to get my proofs back! Have a great weekend.
Yay! I’m happy to hear that, Claire! 🙂
There’s going to be a pokemon tournament? I’m jealous! I wish I were going. 🙂
You should go next year! 🙂
I think I’m going to have to plan on it.
Comic-con seems like so much fun. I wish we had exactly the same thing here. I checked out both websites and while your designs are always so clean and refreshing to look at, it’s no surprise I liked them both. Lol. Keep on making beautiful websites! And congratulations to the recently launched designs! 🙂
You’re so sweet, thank you Anna! 🙂
I LOVE the textures you chose for these sites. Both are really unique and add a great touch to their blogs. 🙂
Have SO much fun at Comic Con. I’ve been wanting to go to Comic Con or Dragon Con, but I always seem to have an event already scheduled over their weekends. Someday I will! In the meantime I will prepare to live vicariously through you (and keep my fingers crossed that you post at least a little recap)! 😉
Thank you Stacia!! You should definitely make it to Comic Con one year! 🙂
These are beautiful! I love the patterns and colors for both of them.
Have fun at Comic Con! I definitely want to go one day. 🙂
Thank you Crystal! 🙂
Those both look amazing!
Thank you Kenzie! 🙂
They are both stunning, Mel. I am in awe how you manage to capture the essence of the blogger behind the blog (design), which goes above the typical design process I think. Great!
Such kind words! Thank you Martie 🙂
those are really great designs
Thank you Zaby!
