“Last fall, the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics issued five posters featuring five great women who changed science, but whose pivotal roles have long been underplayed in favor of their much more famous male counterparts.” (source)
“Women have made some of the most important discoveries in science. Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer. Chien-Shiung Wu was a leading experimental physicist of her time. Emmy Noether’s work in symmetry and conservation underpins much of modern physics. Annie Jump Cannon led the development of stellar classification systems. Marie Skłodowska Curie made revolutionary contributions to physics and chemistry. These women were forces of nature.” (source)
Poster design for INSITU, “a site specific dance festival that takes place at the LIC waterfront in New York, in the summer of 2017. The visual identity plays with dimensions in a typographic concept that puts words in a space, relating them to their surroundings.” (source)
“Jacqueline Casey trained at Massachusetts College of Art before working as a fashion illustrator and advertising, editorial and interior designer. In 1955 she joined the Office of Publications (Design Services Office) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) working with Muriel Cooper who was then Design Director. Casey’s work acknowledges the influence of the Grid established by the post-war graphic design masters in Switzerland. As Director of Design Services many of her posters have been created to publicize exhibitions organized by the MIT Committee on the Visual Arts. She often uses strong elemental imagery, manipulated by letterforms.” (source)
