My daughter and her cousin have their birthdays 4 days apart. So I had to design two invites for their respective birthday parties.<br />
<br />
I decided to go for a pink and chocolate brown combination for my daughter while a rainbow theme was chosen for the party for my niece. So here are the two invites that I came up with:<br />

I owed a header to Swati for the blog of the kids that she maintained. Especially after the arrival of Khushi. The <a href="http://mydesignworkshop.blogspot.in/2008/06/dsign-for-times-of-aryan.html">earlier one I had designed for her</a> was in 2008.<br />
<br />
So after I designed one for my kiddos, I asked her about what does she want. She was thoroughly confused. When I asked her what does she want the header to have, t<span style="background-color: white;">his is what she wrote back</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"> - </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i>"hmm ..I want but dont know what</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>May be I would like a fixed part and a dynamic part ..where i can upload different pics on different times :P </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>I know thats not possible :)</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><i>I just cannot think of 1 pic to use there coz they both are grwing up every single day .</i></span><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>so may be i want something without a pic :P"</i><br />
<br />
<br />
And I knew at that point of time that I would have to do it completely on my own. And thus this header was designed -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wasn't 100% happy with it. I felt there is something missing but can't even pinpoint what. But for now she is happy so I'm letting it be :)</div>~nmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483363042572158612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432750551334300859.post-289193402630157382012-07-20T14:06:00.003+05:302012-07-20T14:06:41.340+05:30Header for my own blog<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
After designing headers for few blogs I realised I'vent updated my own since 2009. I like the headers of my blog to have pictures that have been clicked by me. And I do not prefer to use pictures of people but of everything else. Be it nature, architecture, landscapes etc.<br />
<br />
So when I sat down to design the header for my blog I realised in the past 2 years I'vent been clicking as much as I used to. And that left me with very limited choices for the pictures to use. I finally zoomed in to a picture of dancing white peacock which I had captured in the Nainital Zoo in May 2012.<br />
<br />
You may call it blowing my own trumpet but I really loved what I made -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How do you like it?</div>~nmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483363042572158612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432750551334300859.post-15251770256322292342012-07-12T14:01:00.000+05:302012-07-20T14:01:58.451+05:30A new header for the kids blog<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Ever since the arrival of Nishka in our lives, I had moved the blog for Anirudh to a one for both of them. The header had been a simple background color for months and until I finally added a pic of them together. That was also just a stop gap solution.<br />
<br />
So once I had some time on my hands about a week back I designed a 'proper' header for their blog. Here it is -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYN5oEZ4xfEc12OkXqOeScDLLueeRrjO1xLnakNWJO2RpaUCfoCVxjCKrEDckYO5NpkFDzQYRYfLWU6ZNZ40LOqS5l4U8vexG8LWd_9kkcj625VNuSO8nfaOBCvPUYlHa_lsgXaCQ7Nsg2/s1600/Header_AnNiBlog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYN5oEZ4xfEc12OkXqOeScDLLueeRrjO1xLnakNWJO2RpaUCfoCVxjCKrEDckYO5NpkFDzQYRYfLWU6ZNZ40LOqS5l4U8vexG8LWd_9kkcj625VNuSO8nfaOBCvPUYlHa_lsgXaCQ7Nsg2/s640/Header_AnNiBlog.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I wanted something simple and yet something crafty. I felt the above header fit the bill perfectly :)</div>~nmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483363042572158612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432750551334300859.post-19504722168881943362012-06-20T10:53:00.001+05:302012-10-04T09:30:38.852+05:30A header for Mama-Mia<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
After <a href="http://mydesignworkshop.blogspot.in/2008/06/design-for-mama-mia.html">making a header years ago for Mama-Mia</a> I owed her a new one big time. And after meeting her adorable kids in person recently added with the fact that she graciously welcomed me in her house, I had promised her that a new header would be my way of saying "Thank you!". This is the first cut and we might do some changes to it once she has some time on her hands.</div>

Designed this card for my son who was addicted to Mariokart and wanted his favourite character Luigi as a cake.<br />
<br />
Had to pen down the words myself as I didn't like anything which was readily available on the internet. He was supper happy with the invite as well as with the cake.</div>~nmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483363042572158612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432750551334300859.post-33123230197478009122011-07-19T11:54:00.000+05:302012-06-20T13:41:43.762+05:30Birthday invite for 5 year boy<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

This was again for my neph Aryan whose latest fascination was Mickey Mouse and driving a car himself. Yes driving at the age of 5!! :)<br />

I do not know a single kid who has not been fascinated with Mickey Mouse ever.<br />

She loved the first design I sent her and accepted that.~nmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16483363042572158612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432750551334300859.post-81627862416621731972008-12-15T14:19:00.007+05:302008-12-15T14:44:29.510+05:30Design for "Speaking up, Jotting down"<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaYgZ6M9rXKkg6iB9wmSD1rJF0kO1WKzuo2mBCtMzYXM3vvjZbsSttupFRHyi9ISlk7t7IxJNkLlzA4GXKH_DHVgr1Z5-RJf56owOKMgx1OPD1ZNfi7ymRg1aDbXLqi9Sv5Y5V8P8B8ay/s1600-h/SpkingUpJottingDown_200812.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaYgZ6M9rXKkg6iB9wmSD1rJF0kO1WKzuo2mBCtMzYXM3vvjZbsSttupFRHyi9ISlk7t7IxJNkLlzA4GXKH_DHVgr1Z5-RJf56owOKMgx1OPD1ZNfi7ymRg1aDbXLqi9Sv5Y5V8P8B8ay/s400/SpkingUpJottingDown_200812.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279938142152377394" border="0" /></a><a href="http://gunjaaish.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://gunjaaish.blogspot.com/</a><br /></div><br />G mailed me complimenting me on my previous design works and asked if I can do one for her too. I responded back saying "Sure!" and asked her about what kind of design would she want. She replied back "I am a software pro from Bombay. A total fitness/sports freak, used to be a long distance swimmer in my teens. Give me a book and I will look up only when I am done reading. I binge on chocolate and coffee. I am typically like any other girl my age is... maybe a little more outdoorsy..have trekked /travelled a lot."<br /><br />Besides this she wanted me to use the color whose hex code is 'AD568A' as this was one of her favorites currently. And the above design is what I came up with using her inputs.<br /><br />I had designed another one for her, a bit on the artsy kinds, which she decided to keep for the next time.
