A Journey To Happiness, Laura Bauer May 1992

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 …

Muse As Artist: Selected Women Artists Past And Present, Jennifer R. Mantooth May 1992

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.


Shifting Reality, Nancy Crosby May 1992

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 …

Communications Sourcebook, Karin Vantine May 1992

Communications Sourcebook, Karin Vantine

Theses

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 Today, in our society, the "Renaissance Man" has been replaced by the specialist.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 …

Red And Green Make Yellow: An Interactive Multimedia Tutorial Designed To Teach The Basic Concepts Of Additive And Subtractive Color, Suzanne Grinnan May 1992

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 …

Proposed Arabic Grouping System And Cross-Map With The International Standard Organization Iso 9541 Grouping System, Mohamad Tawil

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 May 1992

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 …

Microwave Treatment Of Hazardous Wastes : Feasibility Studies-Mass Balances, Liu Liu Apr 1992

Microwave Treatment Of Hazardous Wastes : Feasibility Studies-Mass Balances, Liu Liu

Theses

This laboratory has been developing processes for the remediation of soils contaminated with hazardous wastes using microwave treatment. The initial stage was to define situations in which microwave treatment could potentially have unique advantages, and to define the relevant physical chemical mechanisms. That having been accomplished, at the present stage, feasibility studies are being carried to determine whether or not on-site field testing is justified. To that end, mass balances on the processes are needed. In this study mass balance studies were carried out on the microwave assisted steam distillation of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and semi-volatile organics (SVOCs), respectively, …


The Multiple Dimensions Of Graphic Design, Jongruja Mai Viseshsin Apr 1992

The Multiple Dimensions Of Graphic Design, Jongruja Mai Viseshsin

Theses

This thesis project is concerned with experiments in multiple-dimensional graphic design and has been addressed to a wide audience of graphic design professionals who are interested in working with paper shape and form. Its purpose is to explain how to apply two and three dimensional design to Gestalt perceptual principles. A combination between Gestalt perceptual principles and multiple-dimensional graphic design is revolutionary for how dimension can change within the Gestalt perceptual content.


On Black-And-White Paper Image-Stability Enhancement, Christopher Gmuender Apr 1992

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 …

An Analysis Of How Altering Exposure Effects Color Differences In Critical Color Areas On Electrophotographic Off-Press Proofs, Jill Houghton Mudge Apr 1992

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 …

Classicism: Seen Through Contemporary Furniture, Mark Joseph Spadafora Mar 1992

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 …

Set Design For A Raisin In The Sun, Laura S. Gygi-Gamble

Theses

My husband and I chose to go to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon, because of his interest in animation. When we arrived the world that surrounded us was fascinating. It was amazing and strange how, for the time we were there, this fantasy land became a form of reality for us. While at Walt Disney World, I became very interested in set design. The environments created within Disney World allowed one to be entertained and amused, while traveling through dream lands. Being able to design with this kind of playfulness is very stimulating to me. Upon returning home from …

Practical Application Of Modal Analysis Techniques, James Perconti Mar 1992

Practical Application Of Modal Analysis Techniques, James Perconti

Theses

A procedure is presented for applying modern modal analysis tools in the area of structural dynamic design and analysis for the purpose of minimizing the required development time necessary to bring a product to the marketplace. Development time is minimized by reducing the number of design, build, and test iterations required to bring a product concept into production. This is done by using available modal analysis tools in a coordinated manor to generate a good understanding of the behavior of the design in the first development iteration. The finite element method and experimental modal analysis are used for design optimization …

A Study Investigating The Impact Women Have On The Bindery, Melanie Lee Feb 1992

A Study Investigating The Impact Women Have On The Bindery, Melanie Lee

Theses

The evolution of women from working mainly in the household to the work place began out of an economic need on the United States' part. With the westward expansion of the country and the Civil War during the nineteenth century, there was a shortage of male labor and women were hired as unskilled workers, at first, to keep the economic growth pace of the country in line with its physical expansion. Women became the predominant labor force in industries such as tobacco, textiles and bookbinding. As book manufacturing grew to provide books for the mass population, women were the manual …
