Just to make things clear, I enjoy watching pro-wrestling but I'm not a WWE fan anymore. I stopped enjoying WWE wrestling shows a very long time ago but I still see WWE related tweets or posts in my Twitter account maybe because I follow wrestling in general and AEW.
So, speaking of WWE, one of their main brands or wrestling shows, NXT, recently released a new logo as a form of rebranding or repackaging NXT. The new logo was very different from the previous or old logo. While some fans of NXT were okay with the new logo, many were not too happy with the change.
As for me, I think the new NXT logo is not that terrible, it's kind of just okay but the previous or old logo was 100x better than the new one. Just my opinion.
Because of the colorful way the new NXT logo was introduced, some folks associated the new logo to something related to children like maybe a kids show in Disney Channel or Nickelodeon and that was where I got this idea of creating NXT cards like AEW but with characters made for kids instead of pro-wrestlers.
I made a total of 11 NXT parody cards featuring Gumby, Big Bird, Upin & Ipin, the Muppets, the Teletubbies, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Barney, Handy Manny, Blue & Steve and even Jeff Bezos.
I didn't just make them, I also posted or shared them in Twitter through my gaming Twitter account because it had some followers. You can check out the NXT parody cards below.
Anyway, I just did it for fun and hope you guys like it too.

Yesterday, I started work on a Landing Page Design for Reuben Republic Cafe and this landing page is going to be used to accept or receive reservations for Reuben Republic Cafe's Grand Opening on July 10, 2015.
Working on Reuben Republic Cafe's Landing Page Design wasn't difficult because I was given a complete or thorough description or specification of how the Landing Page should look.
The actual work involved in the Landing Page Design of Reuben Republic Cafe's Landing Page including all the changes didn't take very long.
The only reason why it took that amount of time to finish was because of my availability. I'm only online during the evening because it's too freaking hot to work during the day.
Anyway guys, if you're watching this and you're somewhere near Marrickville, New South Wales in Australia then why not check out Reuben Republic Cafe.
Now, if you're looking for a Landing Page for your business, product, service or something then contact me and maybe we can work something out.
That's it for this blog post and if you have any comments, questions or reactions then please post them in the comments section below.
Also,if you enjoyed this blog post then please share it to your friends and subscribe to my RSS feed.
Thank you very much.

Recently, I was asked to design a Facebook Cover. I've never done anything like it before but I still accepted the project because the person asking was a regular client of mine. Besides, creating one wasn't hard at all because it was simply the same as creating a banner but only bigger.
Facebook will let you use any picture or image as a Facebook Cover as long as it's at least 399 pixels wide. The area used by Facebook to display a Facebook Cover is 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall. You can use images that are bigger or smaller than that area and Facebook will automatically squeeze it in or stretch it out for you.
For this Facebook Cover project, I set my canvass to 851 x 315 pixels. Working on a canvass bigger that what the area would display was kinda pointless. Also, working within the exact size of the area allowed me to see exactly how the Facebook Cover would look once it's finished.
Using a sample sent by the client as reference, the first design I created took some ideas from the sample but it looked entirely different. The client liked it and immediately used it in his Facebook Profile page. The second design didn't use any ideas from the sample.
The third design was again requested by the client but he specifically noted elements on the sample that he wanted to see in his Facebook Cover. In the end, the final design looked somewhat similar to the sample but that's okay. If the client is happy with the design then I'm happy.
Here are the first and second designs. The third one, which is the design the client liked, is posted above.
Anyway, if you want to give your Facebook Profiles, Pages, Groups, etc. their own Facebook Covers then don't hesitate to contact me. If what you want isn't too complex or if it's something within my abilities then I'm more than happy to help.

(Beer Label for a T-Shirt)
The first thing I did was I converted the picture of Marty into a cartoon. I've never converted a picture into a cartoon before but I was able to learn it thanks to google. I found a few tutorials on how to convert a picture into a cartoon and I used them to help me with what I needed to do.
After converting the picture into a cartoon, the next thing that I did was to recreate the Beer Label that the client liked but without the images and wordings. I replaced the original image on the Beer Label with the cartoon picture of Marty and replaced the wordings with "The Death Of Marty".
I sent the finished Beer Label design to the client and that was it. The job was finished and the client was happy. I'm sure the Beer Label will look good on whatever T-Shirt the client will print it on.
In any case, if you are looking for some to design you a website, a blog, a landing page, a banner, a header, etc. then don't hesitate to contact me. If your project or job is within my abilities then I will immediately respond to you but if you don't get any response or reply from me then it means that your job is beyond what I can do.

Unfortunately, the client suddenly changed his mind. He obviously liked the design but a few of his friends didn't and now I'm stuck with a design that nobody's going to use. Not to mention the fact that I also spent a considerable amount of time working on it. He wanted a new design and offered to pay a considerable amount of money for it.
Offering to pay someone is very nice but it's very different from actually paying. The client could offer a million dollars to me but until I get paid for the work done, that million dollars is worth nothing. In my part, I believe that I've done the work. I've created the design that he liked and I was already waiting for his content so I could work on the other pages.
The client never gave me his content. What he gave me was a request for a new design because a few of his friends didn't like the first one. Seriously, he could have showed the initial draft to his friends before requesting all the revisions that was done on it. That way, I wouldn't have spent so much time working on it.
As a freelance web designer, I often design for clients without asking for any kind of downpayment but if the design is finished and they liked it already then I expect to get paid. If they didn't pay for the design they requested and liked then they just wasted my time. It also cost me money because I could have worked on other things instead of working on their design.
Honestly, I was about to create a new design for him but I suddenly received a request from a regular client, who also pays regularly, and that kinda took my attention away from this one. Can you blame me for choosing a paying work over a non-paying one? I guess, my only fault here is that I kinda forgot to mention to the client that I was already busy working on another project.
Anyway, I still have the PSD of the design and I'm willing to sell it to anyone who is interested in it. Just e-mail me your price at romelo.itong at gmail.com or use the contact form here.

Well, I've already designed three e-Book Covers for Invest For Living and this request was for a fourth one making it a little bit harder because I was already out of ideas. To make it less hard, I kept the design of the fourth e-Book cover clean and simple which was what the client wants.
By the way, the title of the e-Book was also changed from The Ultimate Retirement Planning Guide to The Ultimate 5-step Retirement Planning Guide. As you can see the change was very minimal. I guess, adding "5-step" in the title made the e-Book more specific to what it was really about.
Rejected e-Book Cover Design
This week, someone contacted me about designing an e-Book cover, a banner for a webpage and a side banner for a Facebook page. He requested three items and he wanted to see samples to choose from. Well, creating samples for someone to choose from is like working for free because if the samples were all rejected then you just spent time working for nothing.For this request, I decided to create only one sample and I did it for the e-Book cover. To help in the design, I was given the title of the e-Book and what it was for. Well, I'm used to designing something from just a title but having more information is always welcome because it will make the task easier.
Unfortunately, the design that I submitted was rejected because it was not the look they were after. If I had submitted many samples and all were rejected then that would had been very terrible for me. Working on only one design or sample was a good idea because it didn't let me waste a lot of time working for free.
