FACULTY
Anthony Rozak
Anthony Rozak received an MFA in graphic design from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and a BFA in communication design from the University at Buffalo. His completed design projects include: corporate design; exhibit design and production; logo, poster and book design, mostly for non-profit organizations; and interactivity and screen design for a pre-school instructional CD-ROM in mathematics and geometry (SRA/McGraw-Hill). Rozak designed an alphabet of concept related phonograms, which was featured in the Icographic journal. His recent interests include an animated icon writing system and interactive information design. He has lectured advocating algorithmically driven interactive data in favor of over-reliance on print-based graphic devices in the design of interactive multimedia. Artwork he has exhibited explores natural form through the writing of computer graphic algorithms that create fractal-like structures by recycling of out-of-phase arrays of image data.Rozak is an Associate Professor in Department of Visual Studies at the University at Buffalo, where he heads the Communication Design concentration. He previously headed the Computer Art Program, which he started in 1992, after having taught computer art courses since 1982. Rozak teaches in both the Communication Design and Emerging Practices programs. He has originated courses for and taught basic design, screen printing, graphic reproduction processes, visual communication, algorithmic art, interactive computer art and design, multimedia literacy and graduate communication design. He served as Art Department Chair for six and a half years, during which time he also served and as President of CADC.
