Those of you who read this post may already know that I recently discovered Etsy's best kept secret- Bleucoin Tile Decals. When first looking at the pictures of them I thought "These look way too good to be true, I have to try them! ". So I hit up Bleucoin and asked them if they would be interested in sending me some of their tile decals to try in my kitchen and review on my blog for all of you. They said they would love to and now here I am, showing you my mini bohemian re-do of my once unbearably awful rental kitchen! My horrendous rental kitchen has been a thorn in my side for going on 2 years now. I repainted the walls a clean fresh white immediately {luckily the landlord allowed that}. And here it is After! The counter tops are still awful, I know. Before putting them up, I was a bit worried that all of that pattern in such a small space might look too busy and make the space appear even smaller than it already did.

I would LOVE to figure out a way to get paid just to moodboard! I thought I would share my process of how I develop my boards. I use Illustrator as my program of choice, but you could easily repeat the process in Photoshop. The below example is for a branding and logo project, but you could also use this method to create boards for interior design, photography styling, strictly color palette research, exteriors, etc. The sky's the limit!

I start by creating a secret board and begin to pin items I feel would help my clients visualize their brand personality. Key elements you should be looking for: Free Photoshop Brushes.

This week the Tuts+Web Design team is bringing you an in depth series of pieces on the wide world of Style Guides and all the moving parts that go along with them.
The term "Style Guide" is very broad and can encompass several different areas, potentially covering everything from company branding, to interface design, to coding methodologies and more. To get the ball rolling on our Style Guide week we're going to simplify things a little bit. Let's start with the most fundamental question: what is a Style Guide? In a nutshell, a Style Guide is a set of standards that apply to the creation of text or design based assets for an organization, a publication, or a field.(1) It is a comprehensive reference of DOs and DON'Ts which ensure content is produced in a consistent manner, in keeping with the goals of that organization, publication or field.
