Female collectives

In order to gather a greater understanding upon how female designers attempt to be acknowledged it was decided to formulate research surrounding pre-existing feminist collectives, in order to discover the methods in which they use to promote one anothers work.

When searching it did not take long to discover a large arrangement of material relating to women within design. Multiple collectives maintain websites whereby charitable aspects are often a large key. In terms of websites it felt as if they were focused more directly at an art base rather than design. Tumblrs and instagrams were also apparent, with strong iconography being used. Zines and pin badges were also a frequent reoccurrence, with slogans often reoccurring.

No design related catalogs were discovered, a factor in which leads myself to suggest that their would be a large market for my final outcome.
