pin to present, round 4

A little something different for this installment of turning a pin into reality: making use of one of the many fabulous color inspirations I've pinned - in another blog makeover.

This year I've been going to dinner outings and book clubs with the Resident Spouse Association, a support/social group for fellow residency spouses and a ready-made place to find new friends in a new city, plus ones who completely understand the craziness of this stage of life.

The person who used to host a website for the group moved away, so they started a blog in its place - and I got to personalize it from the generic template. We didn't have any kind of logo, so I started by finding a free-use silhouette of the Cincinnati skyline to create an identity, but then I was stumped about where to go with colors... And that's where the pinspiration came in. I love the colors in this photo, fun and vibrant but not too girly (which I sometimes have a tendency toward), plus two of them are in the hospitals' logos so quite fitting!

  1. the blog looks great!! I would be much more excited to see the "after" blog if I was moving to Cincinnati - it makes your group look like more fun, more active, and more like someone takes care of the site.
