A Journey To Happiness, Laura Bauer
A Journey To Happiness, Laura Bauer
Theses
This thesis represents a coming to terms with my feelings of being a victim of rape. The body of paintings that I completed communicates an active involvement on my part to use art as a healing process. By using abstract floral forms I have worked towards achieving a feeling of inner peace. I have realized that by expressing myself through my work I was able to confront my feelings of vulnerability but have also begun to develop and assert my feelings of stregnth. This paper reflects my ability to speak of the crime, and by looking at some of the …

Shifting Reality, Nancy Crosby
Theses
Let me begin by saying, I have been raised Catholic, and all of my life I have been influenced strongly by my beliefs. Because of my devotion to my faith, I have been bombarded by fantastic iconography and images which seem to proclaim the presence of not only an omnipotent being who reigns over all of mankind, but also, the existence of another realm or realms beyond this insignificant way station known as earth. Throughout the continual passing of time, humanity has vigorously tried to give face to the invisible manipulators who seem to influence their thoughts and actions. On …
Muse As Artist: Selected Women Artists Past And Present, Jennifer R. Mantooth
Muse As Artist: Selected Women Artists Past And Present, Jennifer R. Mantooth
Theses
The purpose of this thesis was to create an electronic book on the subject of women in the visual arts. The search for a paradigm in the design of such a "book" is currently being explored within the multimedia community of computer graphic designers. As new technology appears at an ever increasing rate, the need to disseminate information rapidly also increases. It is therefore imperative that graphic designers interject themselves into the process because it is through the designer that commmunication will flow to the prospective user. The quality of the design work will determine the quality of the communication.

In yesteryear a "Renaissance Man" represented the pinnacle of learning. He was a person who knew something about everything. Society had great respect for his diversity. Today, in our society, the "Renaissance Man" has been replaced by the specialist. It is almost impossible to be proficient in a multiple of differing fields due to the massive amounts of in-depth information, yet it is possible to be a well-rounded individual by simply taking complete advantage of the American educational system. Unfortunately, society is constantly stressing a specialization within one's own profession with a disregard for all other branches of learning. This …

Sex, Death, And The Landscape, Bernard Gross
Theses
It is now spring and perhaps the most appropriate time of year to be writing this particular document. The rapid changes make spring my favorite season. Everywhere I find the unexpected is common place and nature reveals herself in the cycle of re birth. This is how- I see my world, as one continuous cycle composed of many inter-related workings. Sex and death are only two moments in the drama of the circle of my landscape, but they are none the less of great significance. Man can not stop nature's cycles, however he can alter their content. The "Hindentrout" series …

Red And Green Make Yellow: An Interactive Multimedia Tutorial Designed To Teach The Basic Concepts Of Additive And Subtractive Color, Suzanne Grinnan
Red And Green Make Yellow: An Interactive Multimedia Tutorial Designed To Teach The Basic Concepts Of Additive And Subtractive Color, Suzanne Grinnan
Theses
The division between designers and printers is becoming increasingly blurred as the capabilities of the desktop environment improve. Electronic imaging is one area where this disintegration is rapidly occurring. Abilities that were formerly the domain of the color separator, image assembler, and printer, such as scanning, color correction, and film separation, are available through many popular software programs. Unfortunately, the education required to allow the proper application of these software options is not as accessible as the tools themselves. Both printers and graphic designers will have to educate themselves about the emerging and changing technologies of the other. Eventually a …

Theses
This project, will attempt to identify as many Arabic fonts as possible and develop a grouping system similar to the basic system used in ISO 9541-1 (International Standard Organization). Fonts will be classified according to their visual design in a three-level hierarchical structure. The highest level of this hierarchy is the class the most general level. Each class is divided into subclasses the second level of this grouping system. Subclasses are divided into groups the third level and the most specific level. The purpose is to cover as many design variations as possible within the same class. I will compare …
A Guide To Computer-Based Training For The Graphic Arts Industry, David E. Pease
A Guide To Computer-Based Training For The Graphic Arts Industry, David E. Pease
Theses
Industry in the United States is facing one of the greatest hurdles of all time, that of retraining its work force. The printing industry, in particular, faces a continuing lack of experienced and knowledgeable people. It has begun cooperative efforts to retrain workers in the basic skills needed to run a printing operation. Subjects like basic math, accounting, writing, and sciences round out the curriculum. Also on the scene are entrepreneurial training firms. Off-site training typically goes for $250-350 per person per day; the on-site instruction goes for $400 and up. And then there are options like computer-based tutorials. A …

Spectral Analysis Of Heart Rate Variability: Acquisitionalysis Software Development, David James Delong
Spectral Analysis Of Heart Rate Variability: Acquisitionalysis Software Development, David James Delong
Theses
This work develops an acquisitionalysis software application to investigate the spectral content of the heart rate variability signal derived from an electrocardiographic (EKG) waveform. The location and strength of the frequency content reveals general information concerning sympathetic and parasympathetic activity within the autonomic nervous system of the study subject. Current investigations into pediatric head trauma patients have revealed specific correlations between spectral content of the heart rate variability and overall patient recovery. The levels of serum catecholamines, specifically epinephrine and norepinephrine, are also investigated for a possible correlation with both trauma severity and spectral power of the heart rate variability …
On Black-And-White Paper Image-Stability Enhancement, Christopher Gmuender
On Black-And-White Paper Image-Stability Enhancement, Christopher Gmuender
Theses
The photographic image is by nature fragile. Most photographic print images are supported by paper and most commonly employ silver as the light sensitive material. The finely dispersed silver filaments in a photographic emulsion are sensitive in that they are relatively easily oxidized by airborne pollutants, thereby destroying image information - be it data or pictures. The purpose of this project was to investigate protective treatments that would render a black and white image sufficiently stable in order to withstand long exposure to adverse conditions. This could only be achieved by employing a reliable test-method, jointly developed by the Image …

Framemaker(Tm) Software Applications Handbook, Philip Dixon
Theses
The purpose of this study is to develop a reference source that integrates information on incorporating text, graphics, and images into a page layout program. Historically, the technical writer was only responsible for the creation of text and utilized the services of a graphic artist for the creation of images. This process is time consuming and introduces errors into the publishing process. Currently, technical publishers are becoming responsible for the complete documents graphics, text, and images using word processing, design/illustration, CAD/CAM, and photo/image manipulation programs. Thus, the user must have training in the correct use of the four programs listed …

An Analysis Of How Altering Exposure Effects Color Differences In Critical Color Areas On Electrophotographic Off-Press Proofs, Jill Houghton Mudge
Theses
The purpose of this paper was to quantitatively analyze off-press color proofing methods for advertising material appearing in halftone publication gravure printing. This type of proofing has been an area of debate for the publications industry, especially in reference to the print quality of advertising material. The correlation between dot gain characteristics and the resulting color differences of off-press color proofing methods has been the center of greatest controversy. This paper has tested to determine if a correlation exists between dot gain characteristics and the resulting colorimetric-matching ability for color proofing methods used in halftone publication gravure. The variable dot-gain …
A Study Of Color Image Data Compression, Vassilis Koutsogiannis
A Study Of Color Image Data Compression, Vassilis Koutsogiannis
Theses
The space which black and white or color images require to be stored introduces one of the biggest problems in the field of Graphic Arts. A solution to this problem is offered through the use of software programs that compress the data of a scanned image. Compressing images without any consideration can create other problems. These problems arise because each image has a different structure . It is possible to classify images into three main categories using as a criterion the frequencies the images contain. The first category includes images that contain high frequencies -a lot of detail and very …
A Procedure To Characterize Electron-Beam Resist Using A Scanning Electron Microscope And Study Of Process Optimization Of An Electron Beam Imaging System Using Experimental Design Methods, Randall C. Pyles
Theses
A procedure is established which will enable the study of contrast and sensitivity characteristics of electron-beam resist materials. The imaging system includes an electron beam-sensitive resist coating on an oxidized silicon substrate exposed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and developed in a suitable solvent. The results correlate with published data. A chemically amplified electron-beam resist imaging system is studied using a three level, three factor Box-Behnken design. The effects of postbake temperature, postbake time, and development time on contrast and sensitivity are presented.

Classicism: Seen Through Contemporary Furniture, Mark Joseph Spadafora
Theses
The purpose of my thesis is to develop a body of furniture that explores the relationship between architecture and furniture. This exploration focuses on issues such as form, space, proportion, color and texture. Within the exploration process, the visual aspects of classicism in architecture are investigated. The ideas behind the works of selected contemporary architects are examined and used as a reference to generate ideas for my thesis work. At the start of my thesis, I realized that there was confusion as to "what is classicism?". Whether I was talking to a faculty member or a student, I encountered an …
