Betta love

A friend of mine started a new blog chronicling her betta fish family. She asked me to design a header image, and I went a little crazy and ended up creating a whole layout. It was lots of fun and I wanted to keep it cheerful and bright - to showcase the colorful fish.

I pulled out my tablet and sketched a betta for her custom logo. It was fun discovering a process to create the scales and it turned out really well. I sketched the banner and the text as well. My first idea was 'vintage nautical', but I realized that betta are tropical so I moved toward a more vibrant palette. This was a refreshing project, so thank you Roxy for the opportunity!
