	Communication Arts Magazine		Although design is one of the most profoundly powerful disciplines in our modern information culture, its identity as a profession is in a state of incoherent disarray verging on crisis.

	AIGA Web site		It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I first became a member of AIGA. It was 1980 and I had just graduated from Art Center and moved to New York City to work. I attended an AIGA gathering honoring that year's medallist Herb Lubalin, a celebration held in a meeting hall near Wall Street that was decked with Rembrandt-esque banker’s portraits. The attendees were dressed in 50 shades of designer black… » Download PDF file  (52k) » AIGA Web site

	01 March 2001		“The Mok Institute” at Art Center	Linda Norlen
	AIGA: Loop		An experiment in design education… ...Last summer two of my faculty colleagues, Steve Diskin and Andy Davidson, and I started an experimental studio at Art Center College of Design. We wanted it to be different from a typical class at the college, by being immersive (5 days a week), multidisciplinary, and entrepreneurial. Part laboratory, part think tank, the Mok Institute was meant to be an experiment, a “petri dish,” as one of the students described it: a yeasty mix of thinking and doing. In the following short article, I talk about why and how we started the program, and what we learned from the first semester-long studio. » Download PDF file  (1.1MB)

	Internet World		The co-CEOs explain how 9-year-old Sapient has evolved into a Net services firm through smart purchases and by being careful not to work with too many Dot-Com startups... “We're not at all one of those really big roll-up Web integrators. But on the other hand, we believe you can make acquisitions work if they're strategic and they really make things better for your clients. Without Clement Mok, founder of Studio Archetype, and the core of that creative team, I don't think we'd have been able to do it.” » Download PDF file  (1MB)
