For every iteration of One.MIT, Prof. W. Craig Carter created the designs, algorithms, numerical solutions, and data translation -- a tremendous undertaking.

**Placing the names and creating the mosaics**

Every One.MIT artwork starts from a black and white image: MIT's Great Dome, drawn by Heidi Erickson (2018); the MIT Seal (2020); an image Carter himself drew, inspired by a lithograph produced for the 1916 celebration of MIT's move from Boston to Cambridge (2024).

This original image of MIT’s iconic Great Dome was drawn by Heidi Erickson, senior graphic designer in the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology.
