Los Angeles County High School for the Arts | view site

Lightray announces the launch of Artshigh.org

, an exciting new site for Los Angeles’ premiere Arts High School. The site incorporates a synthesis of flash, flickr, google apps, and easy to update HTML. The challenge was to reflect the schools creative excellence with high end custom design, while at the same time making updates easy and cost effective.

“We wanted to personalize the site, so we reserved space on every page for student portraits and quotes.” says Jessica Thompson, Lightray Creative Director. “This one aspect of a otherwise very content heavy site, really excited the student body, and gives future students something to aspire to.”

The site also incorporates many black and white photos of the different creative disciplines offered at the school, juxtaposed against a colorful backdrop. Photos of everyday activities, plays, musicals and art shows are then uploaded to flickr for a dynamic presentation.

LA Arts High has a long history of creative excellence, boasting alumni such as Josh Grobon, and Michael Longoria, the new Lead of the hit play Jersey Boys amongst others.
