What? Another blog you say? Yes… I am about to start a pure food blog just about the baked goods but don’t worry, it’s just a side project.  Nothin Crazie will still be my main home.

So why start another blog?  Because it’s my stepping stone to my future bakery :)   The new food blog will be a collection of recipes that I am currently collecting, displayed in a format catered to showing off the beauty of food (ie food porn).

The main theme for the banner is to have something that was colorful and simple.  Something that represented artistry and creativity.  It boiled down to using a cheerful color theme of green, yellow, red and black with nice thick brush strokes.  The hand drawn “chef” was added to represent moi, but due to my limited drawing skills, he ended up looking nothing like me.

I opted for a vertical banner to allow more room for larger pictures, and to put more emphases on each recipe entry.  It’s also more unique since most sites features a horizontal banner instead of  a vertical one.  So enough yapping, here ’s the final design!
