I’m Seeing Pink! I’m Seeing So Much Pink!

Hey. Do you guys remember (assuming you’re not a first time visitor) from last year when my blog was in doldrums and I had these sporadic posts saying something huge has been keeping me busy? Here’s an update: today, I have officially finished that project, and now I have no more excuses to neglect my blog. Oh man.

You want to know what that project is, right? Well, let me tell you the whole story. My friend Liz and Lauren asked me to give their online shopping site a makeover. They want a new look, an identity so to speak.  Now, if you’re like me, in that you’re a straight male who kind of does not do scrapbooking and did not have siblings who own any of those stationeries with Disney princesses in them, you’d probably be declining the request to do that project. I did not decline. I merely spent half a month panicking about my lack of understanding with the concept of “the girly”. You could say that TRYING to get in the zone to make this site proved to be a severely draining experience - and I certainly hope it’s only my brain cells, not my masculinity, that got drained.

But kidding aside, I felt honored to be working with Liz and Lauren. Shoutout to Marco Sumayao (Lauren’s boyfriend) for his superb logo-making skills. Without it I’d probably still be working on the site. Credit to Neil Galvez too for writing the codes for the site.

So to those of you who want to see the site, come visit www.ukaymanila.com! Feedbacks about the design are welcome.
