    I’ve had my blog for four years now but since I relaunched with your help, I am head over heels in love with my blog! It is exactly how I imagined it would be and more. Plus you are soooo easy to work with!

    I’m working hard to take good photos so I can do justice to the aesthetics of my blog.

    Giveaway or no giveaway I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to greet you a happy, happy birthday and show appreciation for the work you’ve done and how you’ve inspired me without even knowing it!:)

    Hi, Pat! I like that you are open to suggestions. I know I was a headache to work with because I was asking so many things from you. I appreciate how you were able to tie everything together, accommodating my crazy requests while still remaining true to your pretty & fancy signature style. BTW, I hosted a similar artwork giveaway a few weeks ago approaching my birthday too! Your art is truly inspiring!

    Hi Patricia!

    First of all, I would like to greet you an advance Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing your birthday blessings with us in form of this fab give-away!

    In case you didn’t know, I wrote our collab in designing The Bright Spot’s new home after it went “live” (http://leahdeleon.com/2013/02/07/the-bright-spots-new-look/). I have worked with you twice already and what I like about you is that you “listen” to us clients, instead of dictating the design. You made sure that all my inspirations are incorporated in my customized theme. All my “grand” ideas came alive in my blog’s new look, thanks to you! Up to now, I still receive compliments about how pretty it is =)

    Looking forward to more creative collabs with you!

    Cheers!

    I’m happy and grateful to have chosen and worked with you for the brand redesign of Peachy.ph.
    I’ve never met someone who is as nice and accommodating as you are… And I’m sure that all of your clients will not only agree but can also attest to this! Very easy to talk to and very generous in giving opinions when asked, even in design adjustments! — the traits that are very important in choosing a graphic designer to work with. I want you to know that I’m glad and very very much happy that I found you! 🙂 With or without this give away, I want to thank you for this post cos I was able to tell you everything that I wanted to tell you and let you know just how grateful I am of you and your help in making my brand not just beautiful but more Me 🙂 Happy happy happy birthday, Pat! May God grant all the wishes of your heart! *hugs*

    Happy birthday, Pat!

    I’ve had my blog since 2009, but it was only in September this year that I took the plunge on having my site professionally designed. The blog was started with a purpose. I wanted to create a cyber presence that will instantly associate the name with what I do for a living, and how I am thriving in it. I wanted to create a voice for the woman who gave up a thriving corporate career to stay home with the kids. I wanted to advocate on hands-on motherhood while having a taste of fulfillment from having a career. But while I was proud of my content, I was also hesitant to go full blast in writing because I really felt the lack of aesthetics. I would always swoon on friends’s sites because they’re so nice to look at, and wish that I could have the same.

    When the design process started, I almost backed out. I always say that when the good Lord blessed the world with creativity, I was either asleep or busy reading, so I missed it. And so the mood board took me 48 hours of [almost] no sleep. It was THAT hard!

    But you were so nice and patient and accommodating of my weirdness that I just pushed on. And I’m glad that I did, because now, I have a site that I can be proud of, both in content and design.

    Thank you, Pat, for giving my WAHM voice a chance to be heard better now.

    Marge

    Happy birthday, dearest Patricia! Many happy returns to come.

    I’ve been calling my blog as my another home, esp. since you ‘renovated’ it. Sorry for being such a fuss when we were working on it. Lol.

    You know how I love your work of art 😛

    Cheers!

Creatively adventurous, bold, upscale, and establi Creatively adventurous, bold, upscale, and established. Not an easy set of keywords to visualize, but here's the moodboard and color palette for this talented workplace designer. 

The color palette has very midcentury modern vibes, and one that I am excited to render in a logo design as it's quite unusual!

You know why? It will never be 100% ready. It will never be 100% perfect. Or bug free. Your website will need tweaking, updating, and a zhuzhing up here and there every now and then (as I do with cushions every time I pass by the couch). 

You have more portfolio galleries to share? Post them later. Google will love you for producing fresh content frequently. You want to change your headshots? Go ahead and update them every season if you wish. You can even tweak your copy to make sure it's up to date with your latest offerings. You should be making these updates anyway, even if your website was perfect when you launched it. (but realistically, no website ever is.)

It is unbelievably easy to use the Generative Fill It is unbelievably easy to use the Generative Fill tool on Photoshop 2024! The latest version of the software has a much more powerful version of the AI and is capable of doing so much more than just remove backgrounds from photos. 

Here are step by step instructions on how I changed the art inside the frame using this tool. All in a matter of seconds. 

And then of course I tried doing it manually and ended up liking the result more. 😂 but that's just me! It really is a very easy tool to use. 

Have you tried it? And can you tell which one is not AI generated?
