| Statements | Personal Statement | My name is William Hawke Bassignani, but everyone calls me Hawke. It's my middle name (after "Danger"). I'm a web and graphic designer, working out of Boston, Massachusetts, and I try to make the Internet suck a little bit less every day. I believe that web editorial will change the world. The magazine and newspaper industry spends millions every year to craft the perfect layouts and write amazing copy... only to copy-paste it into a generic boring web layout afterward. This is not the future of content; it's careless, and I want to save the world from it. |
| Site Mission, Credits | This site was made to continue the "quest" or "challenge" set forth by designers like Dustin Curtis, Yaron Schoen, Jason Santa Maria, and Gregory Wood - to make the worlds of web and print meet. I hope you spend some time with my "online magazine" of articles and flip through my portfolio. Hawkeward.com is built with HTML, CSS, and some jQuery, using Adobe Photoshop for graphics and pen/paper for wireframing. I write my content in either Microsoft Word 2011 or Writer for iPad, and I use OS X (MBA and iMac). All of this is stitched together with love and rainbows. |
