	Denise Deering and Student Designers Denise and student designers Lisa Clemens, Lacey Dunbar, and Justin Poggeman of Web & Media Services redesigned the original web site to make it compliant with current web and accessibility standards. The three student designers were instrumental in developing the clan figure animations.

The site contains over 140 Web pages, and over 500 media files (not including the individual graphics that make up each animation). Each Flash animation consists of 34 photos. The pictures were taken using an Olympus 35mm digital camera, creating an image about 2169 x 3254. The images were edited using Adobe Photoshop. The 3-D displays were created using Macromedia Flash.
