What it is
UIC's Year End Show 2025 is a digital exhibition of excerpts from graduating students' theses across design and computer science plus design programmes. The home page has oversized stacked type over a warm pink, orange and yellow image field. The Undergraduate and Graduate routes lead to separate catalogues, with discipline filters; additional navigation points to special projects, the exhibition and award winners. Salma Abdelhady's Beyond the Noise is a verified undergraduate example: a digital motion piece using immersive 3D particle simulations. Its moving particles are the student's work, distinct from the site's typographic identity.
When to open it
Open it when you want to study a year-end exhibition that separates undergraduate and graduate work while keeping special projects and award selections at the top level.
Most useful
- Cohort navigation: split undergraduate and graduate projects into separate catalogues.
- Discipline filters: on the undergraduate catalogue, narrow by Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Design Studies or Computer Science + Design.
- Special projects and awards: reach cross-cohort features and selected work from the main navigation.
- Individual thesis excerpts: project pages combine the student's name, title, text and a large media area; Salma Abdelhady's page presents Beyond the Noise with embedded motion work.
Using it with agents
No MCP, API, CLI or agent guide surfaced in the show pages at review. A direct /llms.txt check was blocked by the browser, so its availability could not be confirmed. Use the cohort and discipline pages, then give the agent a specific project URL and describe the composition or motion to study.
Watch out for
- This is a preserved 2025 show; links to previous years and newer editions live on other hosts.
- Embedded projects may include video or audio controls and can load separately from the catalogue page.
- The exhibition has no specific licence statement at review. Do not treat public visibility as permission to reuse images or student work.
Reusable ideas
- Separate cohorts at the first navigation level, then expose discipline filters within each cohort.
- Use oversized, layered type as the exhibition's identity while keeping project descriptions readable on individual pages.
- Give special projects and award-winning work a stable route alongside the general student index.
