Global Fashion News
The original design featured a Flash-based interactive experience; however this let to the inevitable difficulties associated with maintaining a Flash site.

I saw this as an opportunity to promote the department’s exceptional facilities and artwork. I began collecting images of student and art work, taking most of the images myself. I created the more polished design, ensuring that…

This features several short clips of concert footage. The clips were broken apart into individual frames, then run through processing in Photoshop. Finally the processed images were then re-assembled in After Effects. Included are clips from Fischerspooner and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, both shot by me at the Grenada Theatre.

Sue Anne Rische, Instructor
Collin College art professor Sue Anne Rische already had a professional website, but was in need of a separate site for her class news and assignments.

Nerd Alert!
These were created by assigning different formulas to the R, G and B values of a pixel, then using nested loops to process each individual pixel on the x and y axes. The class is Procedural Image Generation. That’s a fancy way of saying Geek Art.

It was also the first to feature a semi-realistic subject matter beyond penguins on the beach, monkey nuns, or celebrity day of the dead skeletons. I like it, but I still think it needs a penguin.…
