![There aren’t enough women, and not enough diversity, represented in the design community.
At least that’s Dylan Lathrop’s opinion in his article for Good. He cites examples which support a claim that the design community is in danger of becoming a “boy’s club.” I’m not gonna get all political on you (not the point) but it did get me thinking about truly amazing female designers. I devised a stout list of design babes (jump started by this list, curated by the good people at Good).
To start, there’s The Dye Lab, comprised of the award-winning, MFA-toting Tonya Douraghy and Alanna MacGowan. They are behind Print magazine’s recent aesthetic overhaul, in addition to exquisite posters, carefully curated exhibitions like Print’s “20 Under 30,” and cool projects like “Positive Post” (a branded traveling exhibition facilitating public participation and communication). The above photo is part of Tonya’s MFA thesis, TIME/PLACE:
“TIME / PLACE is a book series [and] digital archive designed to document subjective accounts of what war is like from the point of view of ordinary citizens. TIME / PLACE explores the political history of modern border conflicts through personal narratives.
Each book in the series focuses on one conflict. The first book of the series is TIME / PLACE: 1980-1988 Iran AND focuses on the Iran-Iraq War. The conflict is presented in three layers of depth: Facts, which builds a framework through timelines, maps, and data; Voices, personal stories from the war, annotated with relevant history, dates, and translations; and Landscapes, which uses photographs to document what the conflict really looks like on the ground.”
Compelling ladies, huh?](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln4j2pVTcm1qzyqi8o1_500.jpg)
