Jurriaan Schrofer: Graphic Designer, Pioneer Of Photobooks / Available at www.draw-down.com / Designed by Karel Martens and Jaap van Triest. 422 pages. The Dutch designer and polymath Jurriaan Schrofer (1926–1990) was one of the defining figures in European graphic design in the 1950s–70s. Working across all genres, from public relations brochures to interior design, and from magazines to advertising and alphabets, Schrofer is particularly regarded as a pioneer in the field of photo books and experimental typography. During the 1970s, he also became involved with government art policy and environmental art. The design historian Frederike Huygen describes Schrofer’s work as “research into perception, visual effects and the optical illusion of perspective: or the interplay of letterform, pattern and meaning.” This monograph tracks Schrofer’s career through a set of thematic chapters: his public relations brochures for various corporations; the photo book designs; his work as a cultural ambassador; advertising design; interior design; art policy and education; typographic experiments; and his art works. This monograph provides a full survey of Schrofer’s career. #graphicdesign #typography #karelmartens #JurriaanSchrofer #Photobooks #GraphicDesigner #Europeangraphicdesign #alphabets #experimentaltypography #Schrofer #design

Hi @angel-witta-o.
I do know other female graphic designers. The fact that people still have to ask this question saddens me, to be honest. There’s actually lots of great women doing amazing, inspiring stuff out there. It’s a shame that we don’t talk about it more often. Funny how back in school there were actually more women studying graphic design than men. And then again, it seems, like many others, this a profession ruled by male main figures.
So, thank you for the compliment on my work and for the opportunity to answer this. Here’s some of the great woman designers I’ve been finding out and look up to, I’m specially highlighting portuguese ones because I feel the world should know them more. Also some recent discoveries, and some iconic names. There’s just so many out there, thought. I couldn’t possible name them all. Just be attentive.
