Enemy of Entropy

Graphics. Gah!

There are times when being graphic-​​impaired really does annoy me.

I’m finally mov­ing for­ward with port­ing the Heart­song Hand­i­crafts site to Word­Press. It shouldn’t be a big deal. I’ve done the same many times before with other sites.

Unfor­tu­nately, I don’t have a logo. I mean, I have a sim­ple logo, but it isn’t very good. It doesn’t sing, that’s for sure. I just want a nice, sim­ple logo that isn’t ter­ri­bly busy, but that doesn’t look (like the first attempt) as if I made it from clip-​​art and stan­dard fonts. My utter and com­plete lack of draw­ing abil­ity is a seri­ous hand­i­cap in this endeavor.

I did sorta cus­tomize a WP theme to match the crappy logo, but that part is easy. The harder part is hav­ing some­thing to give the site visual inter­est, and that doesn’t exist right now.

On the other hand, the cross-​​stitch pat­terns them­selves involve graph­ics, so I don’t want things to get too busy. It’s a bal­anc­ing act.

I may have to throw myself on Katie’s mercy, or some­thing. She’s pretty busy, though, and prefers to draw what­ever she feels like draw­ing rather than cre­at­ing some­thing to suit a par­tic­u­lar theme.

    I feel your pain. I’m so amaz­ingly not a designer!
