Each of the three sites has a consistent look-and-feel that also captures the unique personality of each school and its community.</p> <p>The sites include profiles of featured students and articles about people and projects that are making the most of what Washington University in St. Louis has to offer.</p> http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/showcase/arts-sciences-washington-university-st-louis#comments Best Case Studies college education multi-site palantir university Sat, 01 Mar 2008 18:40:27 +0000 demet 1602 at http://boston2008.drupalcon.org Romance Languages & Literatures http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/showcase/romance-languages-literatures <p>One of the important goals for this site was to represent each of the different language programs in the theme. This was accomplished by having rotating photos on the front page and in the right column on sub-pages. All images are tagged (using taxonomy) with the related program. Each page in the site may be affiliated with a program, limiting the side photos to photos tagged with the same program. For example, if an event is tagged as a &#8216;spanish&#8217; event, only photos tagged as &#8216;spanish&#8217; will appear along the side of the event. Pages without an affiliation randomly display 3 photos from any of the categories. </p> <p>The site uses CCK and views heavily and Imagecache and Thickbox for the side photos.</p> http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/showcase/romance-languages-literatures#comments education languages university Tue, 12 Feb 2008 16:56:39 +0000 jastraat 959 at http://boston2008.drupalcon.org MIT Media Lab admissions site http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/showcase/mit-media-lab-admissions-site <p>As first part of an ongoing process to redesign the web presence for the MIT media Lab, <a href="http://www.studiomodule.com">studio:module</a> developed a <a href="http://admissions.media.mit.edu/">microsite</a> to attract prospective students and researchers to the Lab. The site includes video, rich media and an <a href="http://admissions.media.mit.edu/admissions/research">in-depth overview</a> to the researchers and personalities at the Lab.</p> <p>The site was designed to be as forward-looking as the Media Lab&#8217;s research into technology. The look and feel of the admissions is a ambitious departure from the boxy feel typical of most web sites, fully integrating exotic shapes with HTML in the site&#8217;s themes.</p> <p><strong>About the MIT Media Lab</strong><br /> At the Media Lab, the future is lived, not imagined. In a world where radical technology advances are taken for granted, we design technology for people to create a better future.</p> <p>The Lab comprises rigorous research and graduate degree programs, where traditional disciplines get checked at the door. Future-obsessed product designers, nanotechnologists, data-visualization experts, industry researchers, and pioneers of computer interfaces work side by side to tirelessly invent–and reinvent–how humans experience, and can be aided by, technology. </p> <p>The site was developed by studio:module of Miami, FL<br /> <a href="http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/user/170">Claudio Luis Vera</a>, creative director<br /> Alisha Haydn Vera, designer<br /> Richard Roth, developer<br /> Felix Arteaga, developer</p> <p>The team at MIT included<br /> Ellen Hoffman<br /> Henry Holtzman<br /> Jon Ferguson<br /> Jeannie Finks<br /> and Steve Pomeroy, Drupal developer</p> http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/showcase/mit-media-lab-admissions-site#comments admissions education MIT Media Lab studio:module university Tue, 12 Feb 2008 02:15:26 +0000 modulist 937 at http://boston2008.drupalcon.org
