About This Site
This website is designed and facilitated by the creative web team in the Office of Communications, led by the Director of Communications Karen L. Bystrom. This team includes the Web Designer Kathryn Thomas, and Web Producer Gene Rocha.
Launched in December 2011, this is the eighth iteration of the Cornish College of the Arts website, www.cornish.edu. The newest interation is based off of the information architecture restructure launched in August 2010 and the website’s visual redesign launched in March 2011. The visual aesthetics of the new design are informed by the Cornish Viewbook’s branding identity created by Lead Graphic Designer Nicholas Parker and Graphic Designer Emily Hooper.
