Rudy VanderLans

Rudy VanderLans (born 1955, Voorburg) is a Dutch graphic designer, photographer, and the co-founder of Emigre Fonts with his wife Zuzana Licko. Emigre Fonts is an independent type foundry in Berkeley, CA. He was also the art director and editor of Emigre magazine, the journal devoted to visual communications from 1984 to 2005. Since arriving in California in 1981, he has been photographing his adoptive Golden State as an ongoing side project. He has authored a total of 11 photo books on the topic, and staged two solo exhibits at Gallery 16 in San Francisco.

Education and graphic design
VanderLans studied graphic design at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague (KABK) and graduated in 1979. He worked as an apprentice designer at Wim Crouwel's Total Design in Amsterdam and as a junior designer at Form Vijf and Tel Design in The Hague. In 1981, he moved to California and studied photography at the University of California, Berkeley where he met Licko.

VanderLans was first introduced to type design while at KABK, where the well-known Dutch type designer and teacher Gerrit Noordzij had started an ambitious and influential type and lettering program in 1970. When asked in 2001 for a contribution to a Noordzij tribute, VanderLans wrote: “Noordzij is a very distant memory for me. Although any wisdom regarding type that I carry with me must have come from him.

From 1983–85, he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator in the art department at the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.

VanderLans has received honorary Doctor of Arts degrees from Rhode Island School of Design (2004) and California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California (2005).

Emigre
From 1984 until 2005 VanderLans published, edited, and designed Emigre magazine, a quarterly publication devoted to visual communication and known for its inclusion of design discourse. Andrew Blauvelt, whose writing often occurred in the magazine, wrote that "Emigre covered emerging graphic designers and typographers seldom profiled in typical industry publications. It also published spirited design criticism in its pages–finding itself to be both the message and the messenger of many debates.”

Licko and VanderLans were early adopters of the personal computer, and Emigre's launch coincided with the release of the Macintosh computer. They used the new technology to create some of the first digital layouts and typeface designs. Their experimental design aesthetics earned them equal amounts of praise and criticism in the 1990s.

Exposure of Zuzana Licko's fonts through the magazine led to VanderLans and Licko founding Emigre Fonts in 1985. VanderLans’ main contribution to Emigre Fonts continue to be his type specimen designs. In a review of the book Emigre Fonts: Type Specimens 1986-2016, critic Kenneth FitzGerald remarked that “Emigre’s specimens are notable for the negotiation of practical considerations and creative idealism—the essence of all graphic design. They demonstrate an adept dovetailing of these concerns, crafting a format that stimulates desire then provides an efficient vehicle for satisfying it. A balance is struck between providing an enthusing context for the type while not overwhelming it. Though far from 'neutral,' the framework is evocative and clear.”

Advice
Hi ReverendSam. I just have some advice for you on a wikipedia feature that I thought you might find useful. This is in relation to your new String Metrics article. I hope you don't mind me being bold and putting this here. I thought it might improve the quality of your contributions.

If a page or topic can have multiple names, e.g. String metrics or Similarity Metrics then both names do not need an article. You can create a redirect page to forward from one to the other. Alternatively, if you are only mentioning the other name once and don't think it will be searched for you can type  bold  as I did above. on wikipedia, to limit the number of links on a page it is usual to only link the first occurrence of each word unless the article is long.

Another convention is that the first instance of the title in the actual article is written in bold. As you're creating lot of new articles at the moment I'd mention that. If you forget to do it don't worry, I'm sure someone will be along to fix things later. That's how I found out about various quirks like this as well.

I hope you find this useful. Mehmet Karatay 13:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Note that we already have a string metric article. Merging String Metrics into string metric would be appropriate I think. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Upper and lower case
Hi Sam. Just a note. Wikipedia style calls for lowercase in article names, so one should have information fusion instead of Information Fusion, then city block distance instead of City Block Distance, overlap coefficient instead of Overlap Coefficient, etc. It would be good if you look more carefully at the style of existing pages and try to use it in your contributions. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Knowledge Now Limited

A tag has been placed on Knowledge Now Limited requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
