A Minimalist Single Column Blog

July 8, 2015

Isn’t it refreshing? One, single column of beautiful content surrounded by airy whitespace. The demise of the sidebar has resulted in some great new design possibilities and we’re jumping in feet first. Starting with this purposely minimalist blog design. We’re not lazy, we swear, we just love big, huge photos smack in the middle of a white page. Don’t you? Especially when it’s your lovely work and thoughtfully crafted words locking eyes with readers.

Now, we’re not bloggers (not lately anyway), so we won’t go on and on about our love for a great single column blog. Instead we’ll simply add in some dummy text to help you visualize and move on to the next item on our to-do list. How about another photo for good measure as well?

DESIGN IS A FUNNY WORD. SOME PEOPLE THINK DESIGN MEANS HOW IT LOOKS. BUT OF COURSE, IF YOU DIG DEEPER, IT’S REALLY HOW IT WORKS.

Pellentesque eu nisi in nisi aliquam fringilla sagittis sed lorem. Pellentesque facilisis vitae magna nec elementum. Suspendisse eu gravida velit. Vestibulum non fringilla eros. Duis tincidunt felis ornare rhoncus feugiat. Nullam dapibus quam vitae posuere vestibulum. Pellentesque non sodales velit. Sed fringilla risus eu purus dignissim efficitur, fusce euismod ipsum vel iaculis accumsan.

An Optional Blog Sidebar Layout

July 1, 2015

Sometimes you just want to mix it up, and now with our optional sidebar layout you can do just that. Choose to add a sidebar to the entire blog, or just to specific posts – the choice is really up to you! A fully widgetized sidebar is the perfect place for a signup form, some social media links, archives, search bar and more. Choice is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?

PROJECTS & INSPIRATION

Wishing such a thing was around when I was having Wishing such a thing was around when I was having my kids! Zoe Robson is Midwife in my Pocket - hilarious, down to earth and straight to the point women’s health education for mums-to-be shared by a compassionate Midwife.

If you’re about to have your baby, planning for your family or know someone who is, please let them know about the instagram page midwifeinmypocket. If you head to www.midwifeinmypocket.org you’ll find her ebook for purchase, which is a must-read and completely different to all the other pregnancy books around.

Loved working with Zoe to design her ebook, and bring her brand identity to life - thank you Zoe :)

If you know me well, you know I LOVE pilates. It m If you know me well, you know I LOVE pilates. It makes me stronger and more able to handle the daily stressors of life with better posture, fitness and a clear head.

My very first and best teacher Rebecca from Dragonfly Pilates & Movement has moved from Townsville to a new rural outlook on the Sunshine Coast. She continues to share her pilates classes online and has a rocking newsletter that inspires and educates me every week to keep trying. 

It’s just past midway of March MATness where daily she shares one of each of the 34 exercises/movements we’ve built up to in class. You should go and check it out, and sign up to the newsletter if you know what’s good for you - keeneforpilates in instagram and dragonflypilatestownsville on Facebook.

With Rebecca’s move she has refreshed the colours of her logo to reflect her business evolution and inspired by the beautiful dragonfly itself.

We designed the signage and competition material for the display stall too. Thanks to Renee for sharing the photos.

If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your current business branding, we’d love to help.
