Varvara Stepanova, Книга и революция (The Book and the Revolution), 1929 and 1930.
Often mentioned only alongside her husband, Alexander Rodchenko (whose photography was used here), Stepanova was an accomplished artist in her own right. She designed the covers and interiors of this journal of politics, culture, criticism, and bibliography.

Varvara Stepanova, flyer for "The Death of Tarelkin", 1922.
Often mentioned only alongside her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, Stepanova was an accomplished artist in her own right. Along with this flyer, she also designed the sets for the production. While it’s not known if she designed the costumes for this production, the image is very similar to the geometric clothing she created for other plays.

& Chevrolet newspaper ad, 1966We’re celebrating Corita Art Center’s new home by sharing some of our latest Corita arrivals. This piece borrowed an advertising catchphrase and gave it a new (religious) meaning by enlarging and distorting the headline for a screen print.

Elaine Lustig Cohen (1927–2016), catalog cover for the Holt, Reinhart and Winston, Inc. publishing company, 1965.
Lustig Cohen’s design career began quite unexpectedly. In 1955 her husband, Alvin Lustig, passed away. At 28 years old and with no formal training, she took on the clients and projects that her husband left behind. She soon established herself as one of the leading designers of the 1950s.

It was a joy to work on this piece with Anne Galperin. As soon as I saw her essay on Betti Haft in @BriarLevit’s book I knew we had to expand on the search for @letterformarchive’s blog. (Sadly, nearly all these women were gone before Anne could interview them. Another reminder to talk to elder designers *now*!) https://letterformarchive.org/news/from-the-collection-the-women-of-photo-lettering/

I started sending out my Women of IXD: Deep Cuts newsletter this week with a piece about Ángela Ruiz Robles. Bi-monthly newsletter containing the stories and profiles of the women in the field I had to cut from the book due to word-count constraints and narrative flow.
You can subscribe at the bottom of the homepage at Women of IXD - https://womenofixd.com/ - and get the stories in your inbox.
