April Greiman

"April Greiman (born 22 March 1948) is a designer. Recognized as one of the first designers to embrace computer technology as a design tool, Greiman is also credited, along with early collaborator Jayme Odgers, with helping to import the European ‘New Wave’ design style to the US during the late 70s and early 80s."According to design historian Steve Heller, “April Greiman was a bridge between the modern and postmodern, the analog and the digital.” “She is a pivotal proponent of the ‘new typography’ and new wave that defined late twentieth-century graphic design.”Greiman heads LA-based design consultancy Made in Space. Her art combines her Swiss design training with West Coast Postmodernism. Greiman finds the title graphic designer too limiting and prefers to call herself a "trans-media artist". Her work has inspired designers to develop the computer as a tool of design and to be curious and searching in their design approach".

  1. In addition to pasting and a long quote, it's important to add two or more sentences of your own thoughts and reflection about the artist you are choosing. Also, a way to avoid the reverse white lines, you can paste your quotation into notepad first which strips away the formatting issues that Wikipedia added to its text. Then simply copy and paste from the notepad and your text will be formatted properly.
