Blog & Brand Re-design

Over the next few months you're going to be seeing a lot of changes here at rukristin papercrafts. I'm planning to vastly expand my empire and take over the entire world through mind-control memory-keeping the rukristin brand. There's a lot of exciting stuff going on here and I thought it would be great to share the fun and interesting stuff.

Things to look out for: 
 


  • New self-paced online workshops
  • New exclusive products designed and sold by me
  • More expertly curated memory-keeping kits
  • Expanded design services
  • and a massive blog re-design
You can follow along with the behind the scenes look at my blog redesign. Right now I'm still in the very early planning stages but you can check out my preliminary mood board and get a feel for the look I'm going for. 


Here are a couple of images to help visualize:


I seem to be sticking with my yellow and adding in some more natural textured neutrals and lots and lots of white space as well as a clean design with a little bit more cuteness. This will obviously change and evolve over the next few months; but it'll be cool to look back and see the design seeds that started it all.

  2. Have fun with the blog redesign. I did that myself last Autumn and it was a breath of fresh air for my whole blogging experience. Good luck!

  3. It's so awesome that you shared a mood board for your new blog design! I feel like I would want to keep that all a secret until the "big unveiling", but it's so awesome to see a sneak peek! Also, love the ideas. Yellow + natural + cuteness. For some reason I equate little lines of chevron arrows with your site... not sure if that means much but chevron = rukristin to me now!

  6. Don't worry there are lots of secrets for the unveiling. But since I offer blog design services I thought it would be good to share the steps that I'm going through and the long process I'm taking to re-design my own blog.

  8. Those are my colors! Even at home and when I dress. Jeffrey always makes fun of me when I wear all gray; but that's just me :D
