Meet T. Lynn Adams



Blog Design for T. Lynn Adams, Author
Created February 2010

T. Lynn Adams wanted a blog design to go with her debut book, Tombs of Terror. Picking the colors was easy. I wanted to find a background image that would have the same feel as her book cover but that was a little different.

I think it all pulled together nicely.

Cindy told me her favorite colors and showed me some sites that she liked so I could get a feel for her visual personality and tastes. I created this blog especially for her. I also did a Christmas design for the holidays, but I didn't get an image of that one.
