Our design training facility is located deep underground. Here we train our design wrestlers to think differently about graphic design. We offer eco-options in print design and packaging design, as well as products and promotions.
El Designo – using design skills for the greater good
I love these illustrations, awesome stuff! The line and texture worked into this design is inspiring. The colors have a really nice feel as well. The sub pages kind of fall short of expectation after seeing those great illustrations, I just feel like something more could have been done, but then again, the illustrations really power the site’s appeal so doing more could be distracting from it – depends on the designer’s intent I guess. Overall I do love this website, i’ll be referring back to it in the future for sure when it comes to these illustrations.
Weird concept. Isn’t all web development environmentally friendly? I’m a fan of environmentalism for the purposes of saving earth, not making money.
I like the illustrations. Color scheme is a bit dated.
In response to the comment by Gavan – we use web hosting that is wind powered and 100% carbon neutral.
As for your other comment – people are doing quite well in trying to save the earth – businesses are not.
We as designers control a huge amount of resources – by directing businesses to use the proper resources – or less resources. El Designo helping to save the earth by educating one business at a time, and changing their habits of pollution and waste.
You can read more about our direction under the green design link – that should clear up any other questions you might have.
