Abstract
College-aged students are unaware of the rich history of women in graphic design due to their work being omitted from the accepted graphic design history textbooks, leading to a perception that women did not have significant contributions. This project has a multifaceted goal of investigating the inception of graphic design history, the representation of women, and what methods would help Generation Z become invested in this topic. a solution of crafting an engaging collection of visually captivating zines with stories of the remarkable women who helped shape the history of graphic design.
