It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn

February 5, 2013 · 14 Comments

After months of planning and designing, many sleepless nights, and an all-nighter of a final push, the new site is finally live! Wahoo! I can’t begin to express how pleased I am with it all, and how much I love all the prettiness that the amazing Rose (of Rose & Ruby Paper Co.) created. From the moment I shot her wedding, or even long before the day itself, I fell in love with Rose’s sense of style. After she gravitated from fashion design to designing stationery and branding, I just knew that the time had come when my pictures and her design needed to be invited to the same party (well, we did have a bit of a warm-up bash last year).

I don’t really like the term ‘re-branding’ much, as it kind of implies a complete change of direction. I like to think more in terms of evolving a brand. The clearer your style and vision gets, the better you are able to communicate what you are about, and with that, your identity gets sharper.  And while your brand evolves, I think that it’s equally important that the core feel of it remains familiar. Personally I think that’s what we’ve managed to achieve with Rose. I feel like the MTP brand has finally matured, but without losing the love for the pretty and cute, those will always be a part of my aesthetic – as are the colours that have followed me pretty much from the beginning.

Anyways, without further ado, do take a look around and make yourselves at home! There is still a bit of fine-tuning happening with the blog, but the main site is all there. Hopefully you will find it easy to navigate and pretty to look at. And do let us know what you think!

Something old, something new

April 4, 2011 · 37 Comments

I hope you’re all having a lovely start to a new week! You might have noticed that my website has had a bit of a polish and is wearing new pretty graphics (if something is looking wonky, you might want to refresh your browser). The structure of the main site or the blog hasn’t really changed that much, as I’m a great believer in ‘if it’s not broken don’t fix it’, but for a long time I’ve been feeling that the overall design lacked some personality and femininity.

When it comes to the blog, while I appreciate that all sort of fancy sideways-scrolling cartwheel-spinning visual feasts are nice to look at, I’m such an old skool blogger at heart, that for me blogs need to first and foremost work as a reference library. Hence you will always find different ways to browse content, and links to archives, on my blog. Even if it doesn’t look as sleek as some other ways of presenting blogs, content will always be king in this particular one.

A huge thank you to Sabina from Design Garden, who created the beautiful graphics for me (I wanted something feminine, fun and reflecting my love of DIY) and Paul Thompson (who still after 10 years of coding my websites doesn’t have a site of his own), who implemented the changes.

So, do have a browse and take in the new look, I really hope you’ll like it! I appreciate all feedback you might have. In fact, at the end of the week I will draw two random people who comment on this post from the hat and send them a little surprise.
