REST

Role: Art Director and Head Developer
Technology: PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS

REST is a comprehensive homeless services provider operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Not only do they raise money to help Chicago's homeless, but provide many education and rehabilitation services to the homeless basically to get them back on their feet.

In designing the site, I wanted to bring a sense of warmth while giving a small flair of urban imagery into the mix. I felt that the homeless have been given a bad rap in the modern world, and thus wanted to show potential donors an emotional side to the issue. The back-end is a custom-bult content management system made with PHP, MySql, and TinyMCE as the rich text editor; giving the client the power to update site content on their own.
