Women in Design conference poster Sheila Levrant de Bretteville (1974)

“I designed this poster using a Blueprint process most often used by architects.This choice was informed by the inexpensive aspect of the material to imply that at this conference our visions for the future might guide us in the decade to come. The image of the moon’s phases is from a painting by Angelica Kaufman as The Artist in the character of Design Inspired by Poetry. The gridded landscape reflects the influence of utopian images created by Superstudio during the time I was living and working in Milan. I organized a set of conference during a week in March and hoped that this one dedicated to the future of design was intended to bring women from all over the United States to discus formal languages and the future.
