Hello, Vivrantfran88, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Vivrantfran88 This is great progress. I note that you have gone back and filled out your annotated bibliography, and used the citations in the text you have added. I would encourage you to cite all of your claims. So for example, this whole paragraph needs citations on all the claims:

Karin Fong's main focus hadn't always been conceptualization and visuals for title sequences in film, television and environmental settings. Fong's first art form of choice began with animation. As a child she would create animations with paper and a Super 8 camera and move it, film it until she created her final piece. She enjoyed animation so much that she went on to help her mom, a third grade teacher, make animation kits for the children at school. When Fong was able to learn how to edit animations using a software called MacroMind Director it was a big revelation for her when she realized this program could do the work for her. After graduating from Yale, where she studied art and design, one of Fong's professors gave her some places to show her portfolio to, which included R/GA and WGBH. Fong originally thought she would go into publishing or children's books but it was this professor who seen the potential she had for movie titles by the way she made her work transition. It was in this short and revolutionary period of time, revolutionary in the sense of the film-making world, where Karin Fong went from being a college graduate to co-founder of Imaginary Forces.

Also, be careful about your encyclopedic tone. I really appreciate that you did the research to find her wedding announcement in the NYT, but I would be careful about how much of that you add. Take a look, for example, at another very famous designer whose page is much more discrete about those matters: Paula Scher#Personal life

Next step is to peer review one of your classmate’s articles. Like your own, these will be on their sandbox pages. You should be able to see who is assigned each article on the Assigned Articles tab, so click on their username to find their sandbox. Remember, you had a training on this, which you can rely on. Feel free to email me if you have questions. --Theredproject (talk) 19:52, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
