The Interplay of [In]Visibility

What is it about?

Graphic designers are not assigned authorship to their work in ways other creative professions are. This can pose an opportunity to utilise figure and ground to the design and the designer in ways that addresses their perceived visibility. Current feminist literature encourages women to exploit the benefits of achieving a public profile, yet this is not the position all women choose to take. We examine the value that white space in graphic design holds which provides a metaphor for the strength some women find in choosing invisibility. This essay explores [in]visibility and reveals insights into the constant interplay of where Australian women in particular decide to focus between their personal identities or the work they create.
