you are right that gender SHOULD’T have anything to do with talent, and it doesn’t, but i think what this article is aiming to do is pay recognition to the achievements of women designers in a field where women and minorities are underrepresented greatly. if you were to look at the major books on history of graphic design, a canon exists of (mostly white) male designers. If we do not continue to raise awareness and give recognition and opportunity to women and minority designers, then this canon will likely prevail…

Great article. I do find that it still seems like women are battling for recognition. The generations of time we remained behind an apron is still affecting the female gender’s appreciation. Though I totally agree with some of the previous comments. Doing the job is about talent, not gender, but I agree with those who say perhaps the influential females are not as recognized.

Thanks for the post!

Great post. And for those feeling that being female is irrelevant to design or that it should not be labeled or recognized needs to open their eyes. The fact is that there are several times more male than female designers and firms wanting a new vision or direction can effectively utilize that. It is not an insult to be identified as female, so get over it.

Yeah there are far less females than males in design, you’re not imagining it

Has gender been mentioned because there are far less female designers than male?

It seems to me that there are less females than males in the design industry, unless I’m imagining it.

Vivien,

“… the majority would wonder how come all of the featured designers here were women” with a different title. True. When I wrote this in May, I knew I wanted it to be a companion to the other, so the subject wasn’t in question, but, the title… the points you bring up did cross my mind. Thanks for your comment. I’m going to go read your article on Marian Bantjes now!

aankun,

Paula Scher did a whole series for them and all the work is amazing. Do check out her site for more. Glad you liked it!

Regards,

Kelly

I was wondering who designed Late July crackers that I always buy for my daughter. Now I know. I wrote about Marian Bantjes last week, she’s a truly inspirational artist. I did enjoy discovering a couple new designers in your article. Thanks.

As for the gender talk, there’s no right way of approaching it, there will always be something or someone criticising. Say, if Kelly didn’t title this post as Seven Female Graphic Designers, but left it as Seven Graphic Designers… then the majority would wonder how come all of the featured designers here were women. On the other side you wouldn’t see articles out there titled Seven Male Graphic Designers… , and if all of the featured designers in an article titled Seven Graphic Designers… were male, no one would ask the question – how come you only featured male designers here…

LaurenMarie,

Yup. Theme. Thanks for saying in one word what I took several paragraphs to say!

No one will ever accuse me of being brief.

Enjoy them, some of the websites are so extensive you can get lost for a while!

I saw this as more of a theme of female designers, just like you might choose to feature student designers or designers over 50. The category doesn’t matter so much, it just helps narrow down which designers to feature (and hopefully they are ones that are less well known so readers are exposed to more great design!).

At any rate, I enjoyed these featured designers and I’m going to pop over to their websites for more inspiration! Thanks Kelly!

Doug,

Her site is a wonderful tour of her best stuff. I hope you’ll click through and get lost in her work for a while. Goodness knows I did!

Kassy,

Ha! You bring up an excellent point that did give me pause as I wrote the article. It’s part of the Experience of their work—yet a couple of the sites were rather torturous. I agree that’s just not right for designers of this caliber, whether web design is what they do or not.

Still, these designers are brilliant at their specialties, and I could hardly wait to bring their talents to light here.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks for reading!

Regards,

Kelly

Great article Kelly!

I’ve been curious about the amount of girls in design for a while, and always wondered where they were. It’s nice to be introduced to a few new ones who have some talent.

I would love to see a posting on female web designers… I’m just a starting web designer, and while I’m still not very good, some of the websites of these talented ladies leave a lot to be desired. I was impressed by their work samples, but the websites seemed poorly executed (I hate to use the same old adage, but Janet Allinger used a very bad drop shadow on her name at the top and the way she had the images loading meant I had to wait for all images to load to see the last one…). I’m all for GO-talented-women, but I want to see people that have got a good place to showcase their work.
