Kathleen Forsythe, the founder of Forsythe Design, uses MIT course numbers to create structure, texture, and tension, a fragment captured from an ongoing interaction of multiple surfaces. Life at MIT often involves a close relationship with numbers and formulas. It seemed fitting to transform these elements and to charge their physical representation like electrified graffiti. The background image is taken from a photograph taken by MIT student Andrew Chen.

The MIT web page changes constantly; to see a sampling of past home pages, browse the gallery.
The MIT home page is an interactive site with the goal of informing and engaging the MIT community and visitors. The Spotlight, with a changing graphic that calls attention to the new topic, supports MIT's mission and reflects the diversity of MIT itself. It does not represent a single voice but rather many voices, showing the Institute in a full and evolving way. The changing nature of the Spotlight reflects this goal of diversity by integrating and showcasing a multitude of aspects of MIT.
