the designers

Below are the untold designers. Each photo and name listed represents a designer I have researched and learned more about. Seeing each individual alongside their fellow designers is essential. It reminds the viewer how important this research is to appreciate how the field of design has evolved and grown and to acknowledge as many designers who have been a part of that process as possible.

The following are the other women poster designers of the WPA that I have identified through my research thus far.
