Pixton.com
Online, user-generated comic strip
Description
This is a personal project, in the making for several months. My original idea was inspired by improv theatre and genetics, evolving into Pixton. Users create characters, scenes, and episodes using predrawn assets, and insert dialog. Episodes can then be remixed by other users, resulting in many-branching iterations on an original concept. Pixton won Adobe's prestigious "Site of the Day" for Monday February 11, 2008.

Description
The goal here was to create a self-sufficient website, where individual users are able to update their own information. This website uses a database and integrates with Zoology's existing LDAP system for user-validation, so that individual faculty members and graduate students can update their own information, including publications. Designated administrators can add and modify Event information, such as Seminars, Conferences, and Deadlines.
