Hi Macarena, welcome! Thanks for letting me know who made it from DWB. This is so very exciting :-)

Hi! It’s Macarena from maomao! The book is finally off my hands… but still has a long way of revisions, printings and shippings to go. You’ll still have to wait some time to see the 15 banners that will appear… and lots of other bloggers that i see around dwb too! Thanks to everyone for participating in the book!

Thanks! I don’t feature the banners near enough as I should. And really, that’s what makes DWB warmer, with a more human touch.

When I looked at the banners on this post, they’ve pretty much been created by the designers. Either by sending in completed banners, or by having a photo taken that slots in without anything much from me at all.

Cool. I love the way you use these banners! I didn’t realise you had a template and designers could make their own. Cool!

LOL! Yeah, Bart-Jan’s post in response to Smashing Mag was what grabbed me. He makes a lot of sense really (and I love posts that snarl if they are well written :-D

Everyone does seem to be running around doing what is new and now. Whereas Bart-Jan backed off and went with his first love, his longest love.

And while I don’t have the skills to carry it off (but I will give it a shot), he got me thinking about where I came from in design, and that perhaps I need to start leaning back that way?

Airborne and Dreaming – isn’t that a beautiful site? Designing that banner was so quick. So very easy. Her boyfriend took a range of photos so I just grabbed a screen shot and it pretty much designed itself.

Yeah, I like Bart-Jan’s look, too. LOL, but did you see what he said when Smashing Magazine featured him??

Oh, and I forgot to say last time I commented that I recently found Airborn and Dreaming, too (I think she linked to me and I went to check it out). I really love her blog design!
