Featured Project

8x55 Marketing, LLC. was tasked to develop the full website and marketing materials for the annual National Caribbean-American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. June 8th, of National Caribbean-American Heritage Month in the United States is an annual observance of National Caribbean-American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. NCAHAAD is a national mobilization effort designed to encourage Caribbean-American and Caribbean-born individuals, across the United States and its territories, to get educated, get tested, get treated and get involved. It is also a time to reflect, memorialize and show compassion for those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. It is a day of hope for the future of a Caribbean and Caribbean American community with available preventive health care as a daily part of life and a Caribbean Diaspora free of AIDS.

This project allowed us to design without boundaries, it was one of the most exciting and creative project we had to date. We are able to utilize different technologies to get the job accomplished. The technologies used included: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Dreamweaver, PHP, Javascript and MySQL.

The long schedule and time we had to work on this project allowed us to be extremely creative in developing ideas that satisfied our client. It also allowed us to give the clients our best work, amid the excitement of working for a special cause.

Our designers created marketing materials, such as the logo, button, fliers, and postcards for the event. There were no restrictions on their creativity. That allowed them to use the theme of the Caribbean to really develop materials that would be accepted by the directed target of the Caribbean Community. After talking to the client and thier desired needs it was easy to become really creative with this project.

Our website developers utilized dynamic programming using php and MySQL to develop this site. The site has features such as news, and participant registration. Our team was very excited to develop and work with the design team to accomplish creating this site.

Overall, this was a successful and exciting project for our team and we look forward to many more like this one.
