i recently took my blogher earnings and directly sent them from my paypal account to an incredibly talented woman's account and will soon be lucky enough to have a blog graced with a banner by the incredibleness that is irocksowhat.
however. those of you who click through to my page know that i've gone through several (one short of half a dozen) banners in the last month, and nearly a dozen in the eighteen months of blogging. instead of ridiculing me for such a fact, let's just chalk it up to inherent indecisiveness and a good deal of time on my hands once the sun has set, mmkay?
some past randoms:
but now. now, we gets to be getting a glorious piece of art from a talented (and hilarious woman- you should honestly add her blog to your reader now) adorning the tops of this blog.
aaaannnndddd, here's the quandry.
i have no clue exactly what i want the banner to look like.
shocker, i know.
i've written some random ideas down, but would love your thoughts, if you'd be so willing to share.
i've thought about continuing the lightning thing. i like the lightning because my maiden name was watts- like electricity- which was "discovered" via a kite into lightning? but it has no other meaning than that.
other than harry potter, of course.
i've dallied with the idea of having three distinct images representing LOVE, MARRIAGE, and CAMBODIA- like a heart, flowers and a bicycle- next to a simple title.
or maybe something more visual like the city skyline from baltimore or dc on the left of the screen with a little plane hop, skip, and jumping over to an outline of angkor wat?
le sigh. or maybe just a giant sun. because i like suns. they make me happy. like my favorite ben franklin quote "keep in the sunlight."
jdkajflkjeiojdnfoihioqjdpoasopnkln! and now i've referenced ben franklin twice in one post? once directly and once inferencely?
i need your brilliance and ideas. i can't just send an email back to this amazing artist that says "i have no idea! have fun!" that's just not fair to a designer.
so. everyone who reads this knows me either in REALZ life or in BLOGZ life, which really, is inherently the same, yeah? so you can tell me, what is the essence of me/this blog that should be captured in awesome artishness above?
please to be sharing your ideas. or suggestions. or anythings.
tia (thanks in advance!)
