So you’re a graphic designer and yet you can’t name at least five great women in visual communication?
That’s what we told ourselves when we realized, as a group of students in graphic design, that we were barely able to name remarkable women in our own field, and that our History of Art & Design classes were almost only focused on men’s work. Are there so few women in History of Visual Communication? Aren’t they good enough to be known? Or is it just a matter of visibility? (Spoiler: it is)
As a tribute to those inspiring women, we selected 42 of them and made a Happy Family game.
I worked on this project during a workshop of 5 days with Cécile Nollier, Amélie Allegret, Clémence Gouy, Claire Vimont, Louise Courtel, Anaïs Ouattara, Camille Lambert, Alice Cibart, Anne-Catherine Klocker. It was animated by Margaux Meunier-Le Cann and Charlotte Prévot.
