Be Creative to Help Haiti: What Will You Do?
Jan 31st 2010 by
More than two weeks after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked the impoverished Haiti, destroying buildings and killing hundreds of thousands of people living in the small country, to this date people are still wondering what they can do to make a difference. This disaster touches me on a personal level, because Haiti shares the island of Hispanola with my home country of Dominican Republic. Growing up less than 250 miles from the capital of Haiti has made me want to help my Haitian neighbors in the most meaningful and appropriate ways, but I find myself limited by my own financial abilities. Even though more than two weeks has passed since this catastrophe, people are continuing to die of disease, starvation, and lack of health care. Moreover, volunteers are being limited by lack of supplies and funding.

In previous posts, we have hit on various aspects of graphic and web design from color to fonts to layout. Texture is one of those graphic elements that, if used correctly, can really make a good design great or a great design exceptional. Texture is a way to truly invoke the senses and make your design come to life, and it is actually used in all of our design work whether we know it or not. Texture can be actually or visual; however, if done correctly, the visual texture can be just as powerful as the real thing.

1Things to Consider Before Selecting Cheap Website Hosting
Jan 14th 2010 by
When setting up a website, it is necessary to support it with some kind of hosting – without it no one will be able to see or access your site. In other words; your website needs hosting to go live. Lets face it, in this economy, people are trying to save every penny possible, thus lower priced website hosting is one of the types of website hosting many customers are looking for. This is quite logical – why should you pay tons of money for website hosting when you can find cheap website hosting offers with decent quality? However, as with most things in life, cheap website hosting comes at a price. Or as the saying goes, “I am not that rich to buy cheap.”
