Show and Tell: Custom Blog Graphics and Downloadable for CAbi
I do blog layout work on a regular basis for CAbi’s shopping and style blog CAbi Canary, and I wanted to share the New Year’s Eve Party edition!
This blog edition featured the usual layout and photo montage work, but has an extra zing here and there in the form of custom map and note card graphics, along with a free downloadable pdf containing delicious party recipes!
I designed the custom recipe cards using InDesign and inputted the supplied recipes and photos. For quick navigation I added bookmarked sections to the pdf so once downloaded, people could easily find the cocktails, house party, and quiet night at home with family fare.
Even better? As I was laying out the blog, when I linked to that online pdf I got specific, and was able to code it so when you clicked on something like the word “cocktails” in the blog post, you were taken to that cocktails page of the pdf instead of page 1.
I really like the idea of having more downloadable things on my own blog in the coming year – what sorts of things would you want available? A cute calendar to print and post in your cubical, coloring pages, games? The possibilities are pretty wide open, lemme know what you’re into in the comments!
We’re keeping New Year’s pretty low-key and mellow in Hearts and Laserbeams land, with that night being our last evening in New Mexico. We’ve got a long drive ahead, folks! How are you celebrating? Anyone doing anything exciting out there? We want details! And pictures! And for you to have a safe holiday!
Cheers!

Have a safe drive back! That’s a great layout and those recipe cards are super cool. I recently downloaded decorated cards that I could put out at parties and write in the name of the dish. I really like stuff like that.
Oh I like that!! Maybe I could come up with a different type of downloadable each month… I have a plan for a coloring contest for January. Maybe valentines for February?
