If you're wondering why the current masthead looks familiar, it's because it was inspired by the upper back tattoo i designed for myself in 2007.
And being the smart cookie that i can be at times, i checked my folders and found the original illustrator file tucked away. So that saved me heaps of time in figuring out what i could possibly replace the empty masthead with.
OK i admit it, it was a bit of a cop out since the basic idea was there and with a handful of editing, a script font and a sprinkle of creativity, i think, i managed to pull it off. Don't you think?
I might change it. I might not.
But i guess it all depends on whether something else tickles my fancy. But more importantly, whether i can actually be bothered to come up with something else. But the longer i stare at it, the more i want to adjust the curves and the spacing. But i'll stop being anal for awhile and just say, i'm content with the results.
I don't even know if anybody cared that i had the same layout for what seemed like ages but i thought i'd be daring and step out of the darkness. Although i must admit, the light background is rather uplifting much like a good fitting bra or an icy cold beer on a hot summer's day.

This is the new chrissie..with a bit of colour.. coming out of the dark..eventually.. fluro yellow and orange will be bursting out of the page.. in time ..in time..hahahah
the tattoo was about coming of age..so this is quite appropriate!
hope to see more colours from you chicka!
somehow the new masthead reminds me of some old-school sailor jerry like tattoo...think its the gradient at the ends...
pastel is definitely a change from the old theme...its nice to read the text on white..
anyway....the new masthead is kinda nice..the stars somehow make it sparkle heh
E: ahahha... yea the new and hopefully improved version. Not sure about the fluro yellow though, Canary yellow maybe. But who knows what the future holds eh ;)
Ms.Redd: Now if only i could draw those classic pin up girls then i'm all set!
As for the text on white, i was thinking the same. It's quite refreshing actually and a little odd at the same time. After 4+ years of blogging in the dark, it suddenly feels like i've entered a whole new dimension trending on white.
But thanks for the comments! =)
