Even though Love Colorful is still quite young, with this new year it is time to bring on some changes!
The past couple of months have been dedicated to finding the right look & groove for the site (which will ALWAYS be in progress), but now I think I have a better understanding of where I’d like Love Colorful to go. I may not have a final destination, but I’m at least headed in the right direction!
That being said, expect to see Love Colorful evolve over this next year! I’ve got some cool stuff coming up – collaborations, a couple magazine features, and tons of fun ideas to name a few – so be sure to stick around for all the awesomeness. Next on the list is getting the shop up and running. It may still take a few months, but that’s only because I don’t want to rush it – I want to make sure I bring you quality products in an easy, secure, user-friendly environment.
One of the major changes with the site, though, is obviously the design. Cliffpro has been working tirelessly to making this happen! We’ve been through a lot of ideas, but for now I’ve finally decided to go with a very simple, clean look that will allow the content to stand out and be the main focus, because that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? :)
As the site grows and develops I’m sure you will see more design changes, but for now it’s K.I.S.S. all the way, baby. We’re trying very hard to make a place that makes you smile and inspires you in some way. Hopefully it’s working!
To those of you who are already fans, thank you so much for supporting my little corner of the universe. To make sure you stay up to date with all the fun & exciting things that will be happening over here, if you have a minute it would sure be swell if you did following:

I know it seems like a lot, but with all the different types of social media out there today that can spread information around at dizzying speeds, doing all of these things will not only ensure you don’t miss a thing, but it will also help Love Colorful grow so I can keep sharing cool stuff!
And now as a little treat, I thought it’d be fun to show you some snapshots from the evolution of Love Colorful! (When I say we’ve been working on this for a while and have gone through a lot of design ideas, I’m not exaggerating!)
The very first Love Colorful logo design concept (Oct 2011)
Early site design (July 2012)
Another site design concept. (September 2012) This one still holds a special place in my heart (because we all know how much I love my sequins!) but I felt it was just a little too distracting.
Some of Clifford’s sketches when we tried to spruce up the “imagine, create, inspire” text in the site header/logo (Oct 2012)
The first design we launched! (October 31, 2012)
A super minimalist version of the current re-design. (Jan 2013)
The new logo for 2013!
And ta-da! The new site design for 2013! I love how it’s clean and simple, with a little added flair in the font & header. (And I can swap out the background image in the header, leaving the possibilities endless! If you notice, the background in the top Love Colorful header image randomly changes slightly each time you refresh or go to a new page!)So there you have it – a little glimpse into how the Love Colorful site came to be what it is.
I hope you all enjoy the new site! :)
