The initiative was formed in 2005 after advocates with the Georgia Advocacy Office (GAO) discovered 141 children under the age of 22 living in state-run facilities and other nursing facilities.

I have a confession – until recently I’ve had a love/hate relationship with logo designs. Coming up with the perfect one can seem like an overwhelming process.

For those of us that are not design savvy (I’m more drawn to the written word, myself), whitespace is the … well, white space between design elements. It is also known as negative space, and for those who don’t understand design concepts (again, a big fat arrow pointing at myself), whitespace is usually an effective weapon in a designer’s arsenal.
