Holography

From 1987 through 1995, I designed many comercial holograms. These were mostly embossed foil, although a few were photopolymer, like this Terminator Boxed Set.

I had the good fortune to work with Craig Newswanger at Applied Holographics on many of these projects.

The “Alias - More than teapots” hologram was made for Siggraph 89. This was one of the first 3D rendered holograms ever made.

The work was mostly done on SGI Personal Iris PI-20 computers running Alias 2.0, which was very high tech for the time.

I have lots of these holograms, and they are pretty hard to photograph. Here are a few samples.

WGBH Online

Two sets of websites I created for WGBH Boston.

The first is a set of updated media players from 2006. This is an interesting design in that it is completely modular and templated. All content is syndicated as XML and transformed for display via php and xslt.

The second, from 2000, is the WGBH Forum Network, and online video lecture website, and the WGBH Radio website.
