No kidding? Cool. I'm on staff for NSC in Chicago. I do web stuff. The Council has been a little slow to get into online learning in some areas, relying mostly on revenue split partners, with mixed results. The driving program was taken by something like 100k people last year but the other safety areas have been disappointing. New emergency care stuff with McGraw Hill is looking pretty good.
I still think we could make some simple things on our own, so I was happy to be able to start this test with a small semi-internal audience.
>a little what went into the theme construction
Mmm... I'm not really any kind of artist (journalism major, actually) but sometimes, and in this case, the way I tackled it was by grabbing a screen cap of the classic white theme and futzing around with it as a comp in Photoshop first, then cropping out the title graphic and playing with the colors by filling in areas to see how they looked.
