Designing Women

Designing Women is a provocative enlightenment project curated by Readymag that examines the historical and contemporary impact of women within the design industry. Through a structured exploration of essays, profiles, and resources, the platform serves as both a medium for storytelling and a call to action regarding the ongoing gender imbalance in creative fields. The visual identity is unapologetically bold and editorial, utilizing a high-contrast, grid-based layout that commands attention. By pairing heavy, sans-serif typography with a striking color palette of deep black, stark white, vibrant orange, and neutral gray, the design mirrors the urgency of its subject matter. It is a sophisticated example of digital editorial design, targeting design professionals, academics, and activists who value both substance and avant-garde aesthetics.
