I look forward to seeing your 3-5 articles ideas, as well as a link to your critical evaluation of an existing Wikipedia article related to the class with suggestions for improving it on the article's discussion page. You can post those under this comment (make sure to add a semicolon to indent your comment to the right). Once you have posted these, please be sure to let me know on my talk page in the section I set up for these two assignments.--Theredproject (talk) 21:09, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Summary of my Reasearch

For the Lorraine Wild article, I would like to add more information about her life, awards, accolades, and other notable accomplishments that she has had. Her current Wikipedia page has very limited resources and does not do her justice. Before this class, I had no idea of who Lorraine Wild was nor did I know anything about graphic designers. After researching for several weeks and reading various websites and articles, I have learned that Lorraine Wild is not only a graphic designer but she is highly regarded as one of the top graphic designers of her time. Aside from designing, Lorraine Wild is also an author and writer for various designing books. For her article page, I would like to add, in addition to her awards and accomplishments, a little bit of her biography, photos of her works, and hopefully photos of her if I will be allowed to. I have found many speeches about her from award presentations and from her own presentations that I would also like to be a part of her Wikipedia page. Upon my research, I had trouble finding sources that cited her work in books so I had to research via the internet where I came across articles, documents, excerpts, and short pieces on Lorraine Wild that would benefit my article on her. Also, the question of where designers get their ideas from and their influences has always been a question of mine and upon further research I hope to include the answers to these questions of Lorraine Wild into my article.

My report

Lorraine Wild was born in Ontario, Canada, but has lived in America for a greater part of her life. She is a world-famous graphic designer, published writer, art historian, and art instructor of design. In 1973, she entered the Cranbrook Academy of Art program which was, at the time, under the leadership of Michael and Katherine McCoy. In 1975, she received her BFA. Two years later, she moved to New York to work for Vignelli Associates from 1977-1978. During this time, she was researching the history of American graphic design post World War II. This personal interest of research led her to further studying at Yale University where she earned an MFA degree in 1982. While at Yale University, she designed the Perspecta 19, which was Yale’s architectural journal. Along with the Perspecta 19, she also designed the Chamber Works and Theatrum Mundi portfolios for the architect Daniel Libeskind, and the book of architect John Hejduk entitled Mask of Medusa in 1985. Her work on the designs of these books helped launch her fast-growing reputation for thoughtful and distinctive design in books on architecture, art, and design. Her MFA thesis entitled Trends in American Graphic Design: 1930-1955 was recognized as an important contribution to design scholarship and led to many commissions for essays. During the early 1980s, she taught in the University of Houston’s architecture school. In 1983, she wrote ‘More Than A Few Questions About Graphic Design Education’ which was regarded as a very influential essay. Her reputation continued to soar and her work earned national recognition. By 1985, she became the program director of graphic design at the California Institute of Arts (Cal Arts). During her time as director, she developed and implemented a new model for graphic design education that emphasized the process of conveying meaning through experimental, conceptual, and formal development. The program challenged modernist graphic design methodology by encouraging students to use personal and emotional experiences to their work. She continued to stay on the Cal Arts faculty after she stepped down as program director in 1991. From 1991-1998, she served as project tutor at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht, Netherlands. Lorraine Wild was one of the founders of the design office ReVerb, which was the recipient of the 1995 Chrysler Award for Innovation in Design. She left ReVerb in 1996 to start her own company- Lorraine Wild Design. As a side project, she partnered with Roman Alonso and Lisa Eisner in 1999 to establish Greybull Press. Greybull Press was an imprint specializing in the publication of photographic archives and collections that were considered potentially influential to tastemakers. Lorraine Wild Design was later renamed the Green Dragon Office in 2004. The Green Dragon Office focused on collaborations with architects, artists, curators, and publishers in the United States and abroad. In 1998, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art held the exhibition Lorraine Wild: Selections from the Permanent Collection, a display of work that the Museum regards as their collection of significant design produced in California. Lorraine Wild was one of three finalists for the 2001 Communication Award of the National Design Awards sponsored by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. She was awarded a Gold Medal by the New York Art Director’s Club for the design of Height of Fashion. She has received a great number of awards from prestigious organizations such as the American Center for Design, the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ (AIGA) highly selective ’50 Best books of the Year’, the American Institute of Architects and the American Association of University Publishers. Her writing has appeared in many periodicals and books that include Émigré, ID, Print, Graphic Design in America, Cranbrook Design: The New Discourse, Lift & Separate, Looking Closer, and The Education of a GraphicDesigner. In 2005, she became a regular contributor to Design Observer, the leading website on design commentary and criticism. She has also served on the National Board of the AIGA and on the design advisory board for the international Design Conference at Aspen, Colorado. She loves the works of designers W.A. Dwiggins, who reinvented American typography by bringing arts-and-crafts values to design for machine production; Alvin Lustig, an architect, printer, educator, who refused to specialize; Imre Reiner, an anti-Modernist typographer in Switzerland who rebelled against “objectivity”; Sister Corita Ken, a Southern California nun and printmaker who, in the 1960s, seized upon the idea of using the language of pop culture to speak to her local audience about spirituality, subverting, and appropriating to communicate; and Edward Fella, who mutated out of “commercial art” by working on problems only as he defined them and his commitment to anti-mastery.

really good work on the wild article, but you should know that you only have to post the work on the article and or the article's talk page, not your own talk page. and you need to post a link to a diff of your work on my talk page (which you did)--Theredproject (talk) 00:35, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Careful with copyvio and plagiarism

A substantial amount of the wording from your article comes from her medalist essay. I believe that you are trying to do the right thing here (e.g. not plagiarizing) but you need to put sources for each of your claims (e.g. each sentence) to cite where you learned it. So in this case, you would prove that you are not just rewriting the grammar of the sentences from that one AIGA essay, but are in fact combining facts and info from multiple sources! --Theredproject (talk) 21:50, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
