Instastories for Businesses

March 23, 2018 by Patricia Leave a Comment

If you still haven't heard about Insta Stories by now, you were probably living under a rock for the past year and a half. I was a slow adapter to it, but I've grown to love it! Insta Stories let you share a series of videos or photos -- and have them disappear after 24 hours. You'll see stories … [Read more...] about Instastories for Businesses

Here are some of my favorites from their posts: Sirius Black looks mighty fiiiine! I would want him for my godfather … [Read more...] about GryffinDior!

Instapanic

April 2, 2016 by Patricia 2 Comments

  This week witnessed a collective hysteria from so many small business owners over at Instagram.  In 24 hours, almost every account on my feed begged me to turn on post notifications, afraid that when the new algorithm rolls out, no one will see their posts anymore.  After the 100th or so … [Read more...] about Instapanic

Inspiring Artists on Instagram

October 6, 2015 by Patricia Leave a Comment

Instagram and Pinterest are my two favourite sources of inspiration. Pinterest is like Google for designers and a great way to know what's on trend. The real party for me, is at Instagram! It's just pure eye candy!  I am very picky with the people I follow because I want my feed to be full of pretty … [Read more...] about Inspiring Artists on Instagram

Styling your Instagram Photos

September 7, 2015 by Patricia 9 Comments

Shay Cochrane produces the best glam stock photos in the universe, and I love them to bits and would use them everywhere if they weren't totally beyond my budget.   I've purchased a few for use in my homepage, but that's about all that my pocket will allow.  So I tried to figure out how to recreate … [Read more...] about Styling your Instagram Photos

Curating Instagram

April 28, 2015 by Patricia 3 Comments

I encounter this question a lot on the various facebook groups that I'm a part of: Should you carefully style and curate your instagram feed, or do you go for real life images in order to be more authentic? I love Instagram.  It's perhaps my favourite social media platform of all, and one that … [Read more...] about Curating Instagram

Lately, on Instagram

November 7, 2014 by Patricia 1 Comment

I have to admit that I'm having way too much fun over at Instagram, so you can find me there more often than here. I have to consciously tell myself that I'm supposed to blog, and not just Instagram everything. hahahah! My blog coach, Martine de Luna, is probably at her wits' end at my poor … [Read more...] about Lately, on Instagram

FancyGram

November 26, 2013 by Patricia 4 Comments

I have a confession.  One of the reasons I haven't really been blogging (or tweeting for that matter) is that I find Instagram so much fun.  If you want to know what currently inspires me, what projects I've been working on, or how I've been decorating and organizing our home lately, follow me on … [Read more...] about FancyGram

Your brand is your manifesto, your one-word or symbol declaration of who you are and what you stand for. It doesn't have to be true yet, but it's what you want to be, and how you want people to see you. If you're successful, your brand's perception will become its reality.

How do you want your clients to feel when they think of your brand? What perception are you trying to shape? Let me know in the comments!

Step into the new world of Fancy Girl Design Studi Step into the new world of Fancy Girl Design Studio! The new website is a reflection of my brand's evolution. It's more sophisticated and polished, and it better represents my brand values and commitment to providing customers with the best possible experience. (I do miss the pink though!)

I owe a big thank you to my amazing brand photographer, @zebrajojophotography , for capturing the essence of my brand perfectly. I think she can read my mind now! 

Visit the website today and experience the difference. Oh, while you're there, do try out the brand personality quiz, and share your results!

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!

I launched my website even though it wasn't 100% r I launched my website even though it wasn't 100% ready. ⁣😳

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?
