I didn't want to do anything radical, just a quick fix to reverse the signs of aging... without down time or risk of complications, if you know what I mean...and if you've ever inadvertently messed up the coding on your blog, you do.
Hence the weekend facelift and a slightly new look for Golf Girl's Diary. I'll probably continue to tinker around with it for a while, and eventually I'll go for the extreme makeover with a board certified designer, but for the time being I'm getting used to the new look and feeling quite... rejuvenated. Plus, I had an amazing amount of fun with the color selection tool I used.
If you love color, you'll love COLOURlovers. It's a kind of social network where members "create and share colors, palettes and patterns to nurture their ongoing love affair with color" and it's built around a powerful suite of color scheme and pattern generation tools. You can generate your look from a photo or illustration too. I got the color scheme for this blog by uploading my Golf Girl Media logo.
When you come up with a color palette you can name it and share it with others. The funniest part was went I did a search for golf and came up an awesome selection of eclectic color schemes. Below are just a few of hundreds of golf related palettes:

Yes, I'm totally in love with COLOURlover.
Looking good. I love the new design.
ReplyDeletei own hd indoor golf in ct. next to mohegan sun casino. these are awesome hi def simulators women use them so they can feel no pressure from their husbands. They are getting alot better hopefully better then the guys in our area. Training one high school girl now, she likes the privacy.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome I'll definitely visit your place when I get up there next, maybe end of April? I agree simulators are great for anyone who's intimidated by practicing/playing alone or with better players. I know quite a few gals... and some guys... like that. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love the 'emotive golf' colors. No offense but yours is a little too girly for me. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the redesign! Very girly and professional looking!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Char. Great use of color and design-wise you did well to keep it simple. A+ !!!!
