One of my students tried to pass this if as his own work:

I suspect it isn't his.

Jostein has found this:
http://ideblogg.no/siljebee/2013/06/10/semesterinnlevering/ (scroll
down to the second image) which really looks like the work of the same
designer. I'm trying to reach the designer through various means and
I'm looking to see if the exact image my student used is on the web

Re: Perhaps The List can help with this?

I agree with Bob. The student’s work is clearly derivative if not a copy.
I did a Yahoo search for Burton boards since the designer’s site Jostein 
pointed to seems to indicate that his design was for that company. I did an 
unaided eye-ball scan of Yahoo images for Burton snowboards going back to 2010, 
saw nothing like this design or the one on the designer’s site. So if it is 
copied, it could be from an earlier board. My suspicion from the way Burton 
designs vary, I would guess that this was a women’s rather than a men’s board.

In addition to the designer, maybe try contacting Burton?

Nah, the design wasn't done for Burton. The original design was done
by a student, Sijle Bekkevold, as a class exercise. She chose Burton
Snowboards just for the purposes of the assignment. (Run this page
through Google Translate:
http://ideblogg.no/siljebee/2013/04/16/logo-burton-snowboard-design/)

After examining my student's version, I'm thinking he modified the
original design in Photoshop.

2014-05-15 Thread Darren Addy

Find me much of anything that ISN'T derivative. I'm reminded of the
old chestnut, If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you
steal from many it's research. Same applies to design (or most
anything else you can think of).
It sounds like this student's biggest problem is laziness. I suggest
someone turn him on to a career in I.T.

OT: iPad Play

Hi Everyone:

These 5 pictures were shot with the iPad Air and rendered with the iPad Air.  
The combination of photo apps used were Photogene, Snapseed, Vintage HD, then 
just a bit of lightening in Lightroom when I imported them for upload to the 
web.

I’m a more freeish bird now.  I’ve completed some heavy work responsibilities 
that I’ve had for the last two years—all gone now.   Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  I took a 
walk in the park yesterday with my nephew, and it felt such a luxury.  Speaking 
of my nephew, Akira, (think portrait in PDML annual)—at the age of 13, he’s 5 
foot 11 inches!

Shooting with the iPad was fun, but I did have some challenges.  The daylight 
glare on the screen was somewhat annoying, but I did get used to it, and it is 
a bit awkward to handle—no camera strap, holding it steady out in front of you 
and figuring out how to hold when not shooting can be clumsy.  Still, it was 
fun and a bit freeing.  I aim to do more shooting with it for a bit of variety.

http://www.caguila.com/park/

Cheers, Christine

Re: Perhaps The List can help with this?

That depends on what you mean by lazy. One way the individual just does 
no work, another the individual steals code that works modifies it just 
enough to get the job done, a third, the individual writes relitively 
little code but what they write is what's necessary and sufficient to 
get the job done, (I've worked for companies where that was penalized, 
which is simply stupid, but the metric they judged by was lines of code 
produced per day), and the fourth the writes tones of code without 
thought, and may or may not get the job done, but they have a lot to 
show for their effort, no matter how little that really was. The first 
should be fired.  The last probably will end up as a technical writer, 
from which position they should be fired.

It's derivative, at best, but since the student has already failed, why

Get it to the size you want before saving in that format and then even 
if the client re-sized it  saved it over and over again it wouldn't

I agree with Bob. The student’s work is clearly derivative if not a copy.
I did a Yahoo search for Burton boards since the designer’s site Jostein 
pointed to seems to indicate that his design was for that company. I did an 
unaided eye-ball scan of Yahoo images for Burton snowboards going back to 2010, 
saw nothing like this design or the one on the designer’s site. So if it is 
copied, it could be from an earlier board. My suspicion from the way Burton 
designs vary, I would guess that this was a women’s rather than a men’s board.

In addition to the designer, maybe try contacting Burton?


Nah, the design wasn't done for Burton. The original design was done
by a student, Sijle Bekkevold, as a class exercise. She chose Burton
Snowboards just for the purposes of the assignment. (Run this page
through Google Translate:

OT: couple of things

If any of you are t hinking of selling on ebay and have not gotten on 
ebay at all or only ought things there let me know.


I have this special offer to refer people and I'll get $15 per person 
who lists anything for sale between now and June 18th, and you will get 
$15 too.  but I have to use the referal form and don't want to spam

anyone - will only send it to someone who is ok with getting it.

I got the offer from ebay because I'm top rated, I believe, and it
is genuine.

IN other news, I've gotten an eye infection from Alphagan-P, what I was 
taking most recently for my glaucoma... I thought I just had pollen 
allergies but no, it was the eye drops - although I had taken tme 
without incident for nearly a year it showed up a couple of weeks ago.

Now I'm putting a blurring ointment in my eyes at night and got put back
onto generic Trusopt.. which, thank goodness, is inexpensive at my 
K-mart pharmacy.  Checkup in one month - then probably setting up 
another cataract surgery.

 I agree with Bob. The student’s work is clearly derivative if not a copy.
 I did a Yahoo search for Burton boards since the designer’s site Jostein 
 pointed to seems to indicate that his design was for that company. I did an 
 unaided eye-ball scan of Yahoo images for Burton snowboards going back to 
 2010, saw nothing like this design or the one on the designer’s site. So if 
 it is copied, it could be from an earlier board. My suspicion from the way 
 Burton designs vary, I would guess that this was a women’s rather than a 
 men’s board.
 
 In addition to the designer, maybe try contacting Burton?
 
 Nah, the design wasn't done for Burton. The original design was done
 by a student, Sijle Bekkevold, as a class exercise. She chose Burton
 Snowboards just for the purposes of the assignment. (Run this page

Ask for evidence of the design process - early versions etc.

I don't understand what you mean by this. What's wrong with PNG? The

of using lossless compression with image data.

I think it would be really great if manufacturers added cameras to
other large and unwieldy objects. It would be so much fun to observe
folks taking pictures with, say, a big colorful beachball, or a
wheelbarrow, or a 4x8 sheet of 1/2 plywood.

#4 is interesting. Looks a lot like a photogram.

Apple should sell an accessory for the iPad which helps you keep it steady,
like this
http://heritagephotoarchive.co.uk/img/s4/v63/p1131846004-3.jpg

and something to keep the sun off the screen, like this:
http://www.victorianpicturelibrary.com/images/preview/TP10-photographer-customers-scotsman.jpg

It would be an ideal example of inexorable progress, so I expect Amazon will
wish to patent it.

Hi Everyone:

These 5 pictures were shot with the iPad Air and rendered with the iPad Air.  
The combination of photo apps used were Photogene, Snapseed, Vintage HD, then 
just a bit of lightening in Lightroom when I imported them for upload to the 
web.

I?m a more freeish bird now.  I?ve completed some heavy work responsibilities 
that I?ve had for the last two years?all gone now.   Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  I took a 
walk in the park yesterday with my nephew, and it felt such a luxury.  Speaking 
of my nephew, Akira, (think portrait in PDML annual)?at the age of 13, he?s 5 
foot 11 inches!

Shooting with the iPad was fun, but I did have some challenges.  The daylight 
glare on the screen was somewhat annoying, but I did get used to it, and it is 
a bit awkward to handle?no camera strap, holding it steady out in front of you 
and figuring out how to hold when not shooting can be clumsy.  Still, it was 
fun and a bit freeing.  I aim to do more shooting with it for a bit of variety.

Curious views on HCB

Hi Everyone:

In the foreword to the 2013 edition of The Best American Travel Writing, Jason 
Wilson includes some curious quotes from reviews of the HCB retrospective 
exhibition at MOMA several years ago:

The show was deemed 'almost unenduringly majestic' by The New Yorker's Peter 
Schjeldshl, who gave this stern assessment of what he called [HCB's] 
'platitudinous' work:  'richly satisfies the eye and the mind, while numbing 
the heart.'  This was seconded by the [NYT] Holland Cotter, who claimed that 
[HCB] 'ideas and emotions are diffuse' and that 'surprisingly little tension 
builds' in the exhibition. Both critics trotted out tired old comparisons to 
the work of Robert Frank, a detractor of [HCB] who once unjustly said of the 
older photographer, 'He traveled all over the world, and you never felt he was 
moved by something that was happening other than the beauty of it, or just the 
composition.'

I have to say I was surprised by these views, and I wasn't aware of Frank's 
position.  Any thoughts from the list?

Cheers, Christine 

P.S.  I wouldn't recommend this edition of BA Travel writing.  To much of the 
work was down right dull.

Re: Curious views on HCB

When you said you were not aware of Frank's position I thought of OUR 
Frank - who certainly is a fan of HCB as am I.  I didn't know about 
Robert Frank's opinion either.


I saw the exhibit at MOMA - my final opinion was that it was too 
inclusive - that is - there was too much of the work that he did

strictly for pay, not his personal work and that somehow watered down
the impression someone might have who was unfamiliar with him.

when I was there, I ran into an old friend who happened upon some of 
that work before seeing the iconic images and was leaning toward not
being very impressed - so I took him to the good stuff :-)  and he 
thanked me.  This is a friend whose background is steeped in art and
who has a good eye doing his own mostly travel photography for the 
memories.  His father is a reknowned art collector (fairly recently 
deceased) - my point being just that he isn't a casual observer.


anyway, I love HCB and thought that the exhibit was poorly curated
and did him a disservice.

Re: Curious views on HCB

Well first off, the critics quoted come off as exactly the kind of
pretentious, self-important wankers who give art and artists a bad
name. They're the visual equivalent of wine snobs (flaccid!,
absurd!, fruity, yet arrogant).

I understand Frank's criticism and agree to a limited extent, but he
goes much too far with it. Probably a little professional jealousy
going on there.

Re: OT - Adobe CC is down, rendering apps and chat support unusable

A bit of schadenfreude for those us who feared such an outcome and

I'm away from home at present and don't have access to my Photoshop

It seems to be affecting people differently. At least one said that
while the apps launch okay, there are serious side effects like not
being able to access any fonts.

I can't test it either as I've got CS5. ;-)

The CC applications only have to phone home every so often, so I'd
guess the people experiencing the outage were just the ones whose apps
came due to check-in today.

The big irony is that those who pirated illegal, cracked versions of
CC applications will be unaffected by the outage.

it seems to come down to whether the outage coincides with needing to access 
something from Adobe; there are numerous services associated with CC, not just 
running already installed apps, but the actual cloud storage (which some people 
use to collaborate on projects), FontSync, downloading and installing resources 
(for example when reconfiguring a machine or setting up a new one); it may only 
affect a minority of users, but for some it will be very disruptive


those whose apps can't phone home should simply revert to trial mode without

 Exactly. I've forwarded everything to my department chair. He and I
 have elected not to pursue the matter any further. We'd have to get
 the Dean involved and go through all kinds of hassle. Too much work
 for nothing at this point.


Mark,  

Of course, it is your choice of how much of your time and energy you are
willing to invest in this. I just would like to bring to your
consideration an important (for the students' development) issue here.
I think it is very important that the student is aware that 
1) it is not OK to repeat somebody's design without acknowledging that, and 
2) he was caught doing this.

For the first, it is possible that the student might not really
see the problem in basing his/her design on somebody's else.
(And there are also cultural differences of acceptance for students 
coming from different countries. -- I don't know if you deal with any 
international students.)
Second thing, if the student knows it was unacceptable but did it,
the fact that he wasn't caught might be encouraging for the future
similar attempts. Thus, it is best for the student (and the society) if
the student is warned at the early stages and is informed about 
the possible consequences.

Even if you are not going to follow the formal procedure, I'd consider
telling him that it is inappropriate and that in this case he will get
out easily, but it wouldn't be tolerated in the future.


My colleagues and I have dealt with a bunch of cases of plagiarism that
in essence similar to this, and I am convinced that there are two types
of cases: 
1. In some patalogical cases, a simple warning doesn't do much.
Hence, things must be documented, even if no strong measures of 
panishments are used, so that the subsequent violations would be 
repeat violations and as such are subject to stronger measures (up 
to expulsion).

One of my colleagues had a case where the first serious fact of 
plagiarism of a student was not documented, and then when a different 
faculty found that the thesis (graduate level!) was plagiarized, 
since it was the 1st offense, serious measures couldn't be used.


2. In other cases, even a well delivered warning is a good enough 
message so that the student realizes the seriousness of the misconduct 
in a full perspective, and it is not an issue in the future. 


Best,

Igor

Re: Curious views on HCB

The point about curation is well taken, Ann. Interestingly, with respect to
the music biz, Johnny Lovine, Beats owner, talks about the lack of curation in
the digital music business--here's the video.

When you said you were not aware of Frank's position I thought of OUR Frank -
who certainly is a fan of HCB as am I. I didn't know about Robert Frank's
opinion either.

I saw the exhibit at MOMA - my final opinion was that it was too inclusive -
that is - there was too much of the work that he did
strictly for pay, not his personal work and that somehow watered down
the impression someone might have who was unfamiliar with him.

when I was there, I ran into an old friend who happened upon some of that
work before seeing the iconic images and was leaning toward not
being very impressed - so I took him to the good stuff :-) and he thanked
me. This is a friend whose background is steeped in art and
who has a good eye doing his own mostly travel photography for the memories.
His father is a reknowned art collector (fairly recently deceased) - my point
being just that he isn't a casual observer.

anyway, I love HCB and thought that the exhibit was poorly curated
and did him a disservice.

Hi Everyone:

In the foreword to the 2013 edition of The Best American Travel Writing,
Jason Wilson includes some curious quotes from reviews of the HCB
retrospective exhibition at MOMA several years ago:

The show was deemed 'almost unenduringly majestic'
by The New Yorker's Peter Schjeldshl, who gave this stern assessment
of what he called [HCB's] 'platitudinous' work:
'richly satisfies the eye and the mind, while numbing the heart.'
This was seconded by the [NYT] Holland Cotter, who claimed that [HCB]
'ideas and emotions are diffuse' and that 'surprisingly little tension builds'
in the exhibition.
Both critics trotted out tired old comparisons to the work of Robert Frank, a
detractor of [HCB] who once unjustly said of the older photographer, 'He
traveled all over the world, and you never felt he was moved by something
that was happening other than the beauty of it, or just the composition.'

I have to say I was surprised by these views, and I wasn't aware of Frank's
position.

Any thoughts from the list?

Cheers, Christine

P.S. I wouldn't recommend this edition of BA Travel writing. To much of
the work was down right dull.

 I understand Frank's criticism and agree to a limited extent, but he
 goes much too far with it. Probably a little professional jealousy

I doubt anything Mark could say would have any impact if he is
skipping 25% of classes and 50% of tests, and got 37% for a final
grade.

 Exactly. I've forwarded everything to my department chair. He and I
 have elected not to pursue the matter any further. We'd have to get
 the Dean involved and go through all kinds of hassle. Too much work
 for nothing at this point.


 Mark,

 Of course, it is your choice of how much of your time and energy you are
 willing to invest in this. I just would like to bring to your
 consideration an important (for the students' development) issue here.
 I think it is very important that the student is aware that
 1) it is not OK to repeat somebody's design without acknowledging that, and
 2) he was caught doing this.

 For the first, it is possible that the student might not really
 see the problem in basing his/her design on somebody's else.
 (And there are also cultural differences of acceptance for students
 coming from different countries. -- I don't know if you deal with any
 international students.)
 Second thing, if the student knows it was unacceptable but did it,
 the fact that he wasn't caught might be encouraging for the future
 similar attempts. Thus, it is best for the student (and the society) if
 the student is warned at the early stages and is informed about
 the possible consequences.

 Even if you are not going to follow the formal procedure, I'd consider
 telling him that it is inappropriate and that in this case he will get
 out easily, but it wouldn't be tolerated in the future.


 My colleagues and I have dealt with a bunch of cases of plagiarism that
 in essence similar to this, and I am convinced that there are two types
 of cases:
 1. In some patalogical cases, a simple warning doesn't do much.
 Hence, things must be documented, even if no strong measures of
 panishments are used, so that the subsequent violations would be
 repeat violations and as such are subject to stronger measures (up
 to expulsion).

 One of my colleagues had a case where the first serious fact of
 plagiarism of a student was not documented, and then when a different
 faculty found that the thesis (graduate level!) was plagiarized,
 since it was the 1st offense, serious measures couldn't be used.


 2. In other cases, even a well delivered warning is a good enough
 message so that the student realizes the seriousness of the misconduct
 in a full perspective, and it is not an issue in the future.


 Best,

 Igor

Well, it's also up to my department chair and he seems reluctant to
take on the inevitable complications (read: work). And of course it is
not to my advantage to get into a conflict with the chair of the
department.

Thank you for the insight, though. You made a couple of points I had
considered and some I hadn't. The students and teachers both receive
education in this business, don't they?
