Greetings && Assignment Reminder
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) 21:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey X3Kimmie,one word CASLON!!! AND Bodoni Macaroni Token718 (talk) 22:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Article Suggestions

 * Giambattista Bodoni
 * Vincent Figgins
 * Piet Zwart
 * William Caslon

These are a few articles that I found that I believe could be worked on.

Summary of Topics
Piet Zwart - A pioneer of modern typography, designer Piet Zwart was influenced by Constructivism and De Stijl. His influence shows in his work and in this quote: ...to make beautiful creations for the sake of their aesthetic value will have no social significance tomorrow... . Zwart worked as a designer, typographer, photographer and industrial designer in the Netherlands in the 1920s and 30s. Primarily working for the NKF Company, he created many works of graphic design before retiring from the company to spend the rest of his days as an interior and furniture designer.

William Caslon - My favorite typographer. William Caslon (1692 – January 23, 1766), also known as William Caslon I, was an English gunsmith and designer of typefaces. His work influenced John Baskerville. Caslon typefaces were immediately popular and used for many important printed works, including the first printed version of the United States Declaration of Independence.

Caslon's types became so popular that the expression about typeface choice, "when in doubt, use Caslon," came about. The Caslon types fell out of favour in the century after his death, but were revived in the 1840s. Several revivals of the Caslon types are widely used today.

Giambattista Bodoni - Giambattista Bodoni (February 16, 1740 in Saluzzo – November 29, 1813 in Parma) was an Italian engraver, publisher, printer and typographer. He created the typface called Bodoni. Giambattista was greatly influenced by the work of Fournier Le Jeune. Bodoni defined his design ideal as cleanness, good taste, charm, and regularity.

It is noteworthy that as Bodoni was constructing alphabets of interchangeable parts, American inventor Eli Whitney was assembling firearms of interchangeable parts in his New Haven, Connecticut, factory, foreshadowing the mass-production techniques soon to revolutionize Western society. His design had open, simple page design with generous margins, wide letter- and line-spacing, and large areas of white space became his hallmark.

X3Kimmie as you have seen, User Mean as Custard has reverted your work because it was plagiarized in whole from this URL. This was removed from Wikepedia for being a copyright violation. We will need to speak in person regarding the role of plagiarism and academic dishonesty.--Theredproject (talk) 03:14, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * M010 you have extensive copyright violation and plagiarism infractions on your page. Please see Copy-paste for more details on what you can and cannot do in WP's guidelines. But from the perspective of academic integrity, you must know very well that you cannot plagiarize text from other sources, even if you have cited it, as you have done here. You have a chance to correct this, by paraphrasing the information from your sources, and citing them. Right now, you have merely copied and pasted text from your sources. This is not acceptable.--Theredproject (talk) 21:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
