Purchase College Graphic Design Department
This website was created by students of Purchase College, SUNY for the Advanced Web Design: Special Projects elective in Spring 2015 under the direction of faculty member Jessica Wexler. This course brought together students from the Graphic Design, New Media and Arts Management departments to explore how the Graphic Design major can visually reflect upon itself.
Our website invites the user to play. Its styling, like the department it represents, is dynamic, changeable, changing, vibrant, bold and eccentric. The design system values multiple perspectives. It includes an editing toolbar that allows the user to change the palette, logo, gradient, pattern, and content view.
The site was designed by Alex Apostolides, Brand Shefton, Danielle Leggard, Krystalina Tom, Nicholas DiChiara, Shannen Craft, Danny Fabricant, project managed by Emily Green and developed by Corey Tegeler.
A custom content management system was designed and developed for the production of this site. We left its back door open if you want to give it a look. Though only admins can make changes to the site, it shows an alternate display of the site's content and a transparent view of its architecture.
