I met Keia several months ago when we collaborated on an event for the Charlotte Film Festival. It wasn't long before I had a case of SWF syndrome. She has this magnetic, upbeat personality - combined with passion, drive and a sense of humor that immediately made me want to be her stalker... I mean friend. So when Keia emailed me to say she was starting a blog and needed some advice / design help, I was all about it. We met for coffee and she explained her concept for The SunnysideUP.

The SunnysideUp chronicles the road to happy living. It's a place for all people to find a little inspiration, some good joo joo and a lot of laughter. It's my way of sharing the human experience with others. You'll find blogs on life's little (or big) discoveries, lessons and insights. I envision posts involving happiness "experiments" and the comical, meaningful or profound results.

I'd like to involve elements of mind, body and spirit so I'll do posts on things like meditation and how I'm getting back into my skinny jeans or how to handle my grey eyebrow hair with grace and a good pair of tweezers. I'd like to take photos of things that make me happy and have posts on all the small things that can lead to one big happy life. I've got heaps of ideas, but this is the basic idea for it.

Sounds like digital Xanax right!? I was sold when she mentioned "gray eyebrow hair." So I offered to design her blog header and developed the concepts you see above.

Well... The SunnysideUp JUST LAUNCHED this week! Go see which design Keia chose and send some internet love to the blogosphere's latest addition.
