This first thing that came into Our mind when we were about to embark on this project
 
screen shot     was " which colors should we be identified with?" ; "what will be my color scheme?". This indeed took us some time to answer because we don't just want to use a color that will make the site beautiful but that will define the purpose of the site. After some time we then came up with the ultimate answer to this questions. we first found black, then the green and later the lime. Well, to have chosen these colors we know we need to make some explanation to my audiences on what they represent
Black: Black means obscurity and bad state of being. That is the current state of Agriculture in some of the African countries. This is very visible as revealed by statistics collated from the UN that in Zimbabwe alone about 6,000,000 people needs emergency food supply.
 
Green : This is the most dominant color; Represents agriculture/plant life, which is what we are trying to revolve via the adoption of Biotechnology. Biotechnology centers it’s area of operation on agriculture and as such the main target is the AGRICULTURE (green).
 
Lime : Lime is a combination of yellow and green. Yellow means bright and healthy. Lime will be the state of World's [and consequently the Africans'] Agriculture (green) if biotechnology (yellow) is applied.
 
The lime is not too intensified because of the much criticisms against GMOs, especially in some part of Africa. Not until everyone embrace biotechnology the lime might not be intensified.
 
 The next concept we applied on this site, was making it a multilingual one, because we knew there are other youths or scientist (both in Africa and in diaspora) who don't understand much English, but they do apprehend French or Portuguese well. That was the primary thing that intrigued us to make a multilingual site, so that no matter what, they can also benefit from the rich information on the site.
 
Lastly the news box on the site; some people visit this site just for the purpose of reading the biotechnology news in the boxes on each page, and we found out it was really exciting since when they come back they always find new things so that keep on logging to the site. So we try as much as we can to keep the news segment always updated so that more and more people will come and more people will benefit from it.
