In its Standards of Professional Practice the AIGA makes this unequivocal statement regarding authorship, “When not the sole author of a design, it is incumbent upon a professional designer to clearly identify his or her specific responsibilities or involvement with the design. Examples of such work may not be used for publicity, display or portfolio samples without clear identification of precise areas of authorship.” Unfortunately, this dictum has not led to consistency in the way graphic design is credited in magazines, books, websites, or contests and doesn't address the problem of unattributed work.

The AIGA's stance speaks to what has traditionally been the major issue in graphic design attribution — in such collaborative work why does a single designer end up getting the credit?

What about young designers who put work done at a well-known studio on their personal portfolio site? What about big studios that use a monolithic studio credit for the work done by individual employees? And (as in the Sundance Channel example) what about work that goes completely uncredited?

Education Programs Information Science Education Committee Education for Information Architecture Project Introduction The ASIS&T Information Science Education Committee is conducting a project on education for information architecture. The first phase of the project, in which the committee is currently engaged, is to gather information about existing courses and programs and to make this information available at the committee web site. The information gathered thus far is below.  Information architecture programs and courses  This listing is based on a search of the Web in March 2003 and on responses to an email survey posted on asis-l and JESSE listservs. The initial goal of the project is to identify programs and courses rather than to evaluate them or gather in-depth information.  At this point, the listing is limited to U.S. and Canadian institutions. We invite any institutions with either IA degree programs and/or courses in IA or with significant IA components to send information to the ASIS&T Information Science Education Committee for inclusion in this listing. Please send responses (and any corrections of additions) to Dietmar Wolfram (dwolfram@uwm.edu).

Company Profiles are literally profiles for companies. From an engineering perspective, we started with a relatively simple prototype of recent promotions and hires, iterated and created static pages for several companies. We then launched our company standardization project, played with massive amounts of statistical data, improved our search engine, added analytical data platform, ran a whole bunch of SQL scripts and implemented several designs of a page - Phew!
