Goddess in Progress is a new WordPress powered blog with a beautiful new blog design that I recently completed and launched for Lakshmi. It was actually, originally, commissioned by Sheryl, for whom I’ve done a few designs for in the past. When the blog design for Goddesses was completed, she had decided she didn’t have time for the site, and handed it over to the very capable hands of Lakshmi - who I am sure will take great care. . .

The blog design, itself, needed to be something soft, yet encouraging. After some communications back and forth, Sheryl settled on an image of Swams swimming in a pond as the main header image of the site. Wanting done in soft, muted tones kind of proved a bit of a challenge - because the image of the swans was a photograph, taken in daylight and the colors of the water, sky, surrounding landscape and swans was actually very vivid. Through the magic of Photoshop, I created an effect that gives you the visual images that the swans are actually floating/swimming at the top of her blog - creating a very soft feel to it.

Sheryl was extremely pleased with the layout and design of Goddesses in Progress. I wish Lakshmi the best of luck in carrying out Sheryl’s original intent for the site!
