15 MINUTES Making your blog look beautiful (and professional!)
Your blog is like a digital version of your sketchbook so it's important that it looks visually appealing and is also representative of you as a designer. It's also important for it to look professional so you need to consider the font, colour and layout that you use - for example green text on a red background isn't the easiest on the eyes, so you might want to go for something a little tamer than that!
Click on 'Design' at the top of the page, then select 'Template' from the list on the left and then the orange 'Customise' button to take you into the design options.
View the options list on the left to see all the design options:
The 'Advanced' option is where you can change all the colours, fonts and other things that really create your look!
