The BlackHat Fish of Web/Graphic Design

This has got to be the coolest thing i have ever seen anyone do. I now know who started this campaign, but he wishes to remain unnamed. What an amazing thing to do for cancer awareness. Spreading the word online is what we should all do, we should all chime in and spread the word of Breast Cancer Awareness!

It’s a very simple theme yet well designed and not too pinkish so guys, it’s ok to use it. I had to think about it but who cares about the color, it’s as a friend said, about the cause, about the meaning behind it. There can be no ugly design to it or color scheme, there can be no bad coding, it’s a pure very thoughtful act and that’s all there is to it.

Read a little more about it over at Design Pride. A site i know will be doing a lot of good and helping a lot of people in the future. It’s a breath of fresh air to see people who are passionate, not only for their work but issues that effect us in every day life.

That’s what I am calling it. I am currently redesigning the website for the Online Degree programs university, Saint Dominic University as their one is now outdated. I want to keep the main color palette they used and incorporate a professional, modern yet artistic feel to the site and while doing so, not losing that educational touch. I think as there are many university websites, and almost as many online university websites, that they have to stand out, be original, unique, and that’s what I am doing with the stdu.org website.

Their logo will remain the same but I plan to incorporate it into the header I create, maybe make it look a little more modern for the website rather than a corporate stamp. After I am done with the site who knows, I may myself take an MBA course there!
