Cranbrook 2-D Design Department

Every few years the Cranbrook 2D site gets redesigned.Ned Snider and I did this particular redesign. As a designer it was important to me that my fellow design students were able to literally "make their mark" on the site. We created a template that allowed everyone to visually create their own page. We also added stop motion photographs of everyone to capture more than one mood and because frankly, they're fun. Finally whenyou roll over the individual "sticks" to take you to the student pages you are mildly assaulted with a buzzing sound that happened to be a default sound that shipped with Flash at the time. This was not sheer laziness, as has been suggested, but an intentional use of the banal. WINNER OF SILVER AWARD IN ID MAGAZINE INTERACTIVE DESIGN ANNUAL
