the design blog: Girl Power

Someone requested this design of me and I really liked the idea for a couple of reasons - I like that it's a strong, photo of a Latina woman. But it took me a while to find a version of this photo that could be edited the way I needed it to be.

I need the strength the picture gives me. It gives me inspiration! Thanks, designer!

Okay, for some odd reason I'm having trouble with using the comments section for "Places to Go", so I'm posting this under "Girl Power" instead. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyway, "Places to Go" looks great, thanks for putting these up. I was scared I'd have to stick with some tacky template that didn't express me at all.
