FACELIFT

Manders got a facelift.

Well, not me. My blog. You get it.

My RIDICULOUSLY talented and wonderfully hilarious friend Alexis whipped up the new blog header for me. I can't even put words to how much I love it. I literally gave her a total of 10 words describing what I wanted, all of which probably counter-balanced one another. Even with my minimal and confusing direction and utter lack of graphic design knowledge, she saw my vision... even when I didn't. Alexis texted me asking if the blog had a title. The truth is, this blog has had a few titles. As the previous post states, I have been in a rut recently. I have felt like I am dreaming bigger than ever, but am stuck in reality.

After heading up to Leucadia to see Alexis and Jason's art on display, I felt inspired. As I was thinking about it, I realized that the way I describe my life right now, is pretty true in all seasons. Whether I be in a desert or a flood, it is reality at that moment. Thus, I decided to name this blog, "Dreaming big while stuck in reality".

If you need a good graphic designer, hit up Alexis. Her portfolio and blog speak volumes of how talented she is. Hire her. Don't think about it. Just do it.

While you're at it, if you need a photographer in San Diego, hire her husband. Again, don't ask questions, just do it.
