From Rebecca White (sowhitedi):

Hello Ernie, Will, Rebekah, and Antonio,

Thanks for welcoming me onto this project as a designer, and welcoming me to Miami! I'm brand new here and looking forward to working with you all.

I wanted to let you know some of my general thoughts for the design of this site. At hack night we've discussed that the current styling is very Virginia-Political and does not feel very Miami. So I'm looking at developing some color palettes and type styling that reflect the energy and vibrance of our city. I also would like for it to make some subtle references to the Wynwood neighborhood, since that is where it's being created!

One Question:

Does anyone have a suggestion of an iconic object / piece of architecture / something that really says MIAMI? For the header of the site, I would like to replace the generic State of Florida outline logo with something that's symbolic of Miami. I can do a custom illustration for this logo, just want to get some ideas from people who have been here longer than I have!

I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions you might have.

Thanks!
