Please Vote!

As the photo season comes to an end, I will have more time to devote to designing. I’m trying to get a game plan together and need some input from you all.

What would you like to see from me. Keeping in mind most of my designs are simple and modern. Please leave a comment if you have specific requests (I can’t guarantee I’ll get to designing everything, but I’m open to everyone’s ideas).

How To: Using Color Overlays

All of my recent templates have been created so that the colors are editable using Color Overlays. I tend to design in brighter colors, but by changing the colors of a template, a whole new look can be created. I’ve gotten some questions on how exactly to change the colors via Color Overlays, so I thought I’d post this here. I with include this will all future template designs as well.

**NOTE: This will only work on the templates that specify colors can be changed using Color Overlays.

Feel free to copy and save these instructions for future reference.
