Female Graphic Designers That Will Knock Your Socks Off!

Female SocksThe field is ever-changing, yet the rock stars of graphic design are still, mainly, men. Meanwhile, the purchasing power of the globe is in the hands of individual women… 




It’s time to see more women like these seven, making a mark with their own Vision. 

Get Inspired!



Paula Scher: The Dame of Grande Design - Lisa Marie's Choice...

Bigger is definitely better. Bold words wrap you up and pull you in. You’re hooked! New York-based Paula Scher, one of only two female partners at mighty Pentagram, is a graphic design rock star of the highest order. She’s also an author, a superb lecturer, and her work is in the permanent collections of several museums. Her clean, brash, and inventive use of typography has influenced a generation of young designers.

Barriers? Sure. Glass ceiling? Maybe. These ladies have their eyes on the prize, not the ceiling. As a result, they’ve busted right through it. Rock on.

*About Kelly Erickson: I walk in the shadows of all the giants and emerging leaders listed above, and of so many more women and men. Great thought and design is all around us. Future rock star business owners: as the owner of VisionPoints, The Experience Designers, I’m obsessed with your success.

Put UR 2 Cents In!

NOBODY CARES
I Had a phone conversation with my "X" today (my sons other parent), about sending him to summer camp for 7 weeks for $10,000.00, verses sending him for a shorter time so he could go on vacation with my side of the family & be home for his 18th birthday party.  ( last year with taking him to NY & picking him up & the camp & extras was close to $17K) BUT NO! has to have it their way every year.  I swear if I could go back almost 17.5 years ago I would of had artificial insemination!!!! To have a child with another & parent from a book & not your heart absolutely sucks! 


I hear you Halle Berry, it's very hard to learn to share when you have a child & don't believe the other parents priorities are the same or at least similar! I go through separation anxiety after having my son & then giving him to the other parent for their time.


You would think JOINT CUSTODY means just that but it doesn't.  Again, it's all about who has the biggest pockets! 


At this time I don't because I am going to school full-time for graphics/multimedia/film & editing - to promote & manage OUR sons ACTING 
& MODELING career but don't take this wrong I do support him financially when he is with me: food, clothes, activities, games, cell phone, ps3, etc.) I don't feel the need to take or ask for anything more then what each parent wants to do for 7 with him - except mutual respect & support of eachothers choices for his life ahead...


They call them 'X''s for a reason </3


SOLUTION: INORDER TO BE MORE GOD LIKE -  THE OTHER PARENT PUT ME DOWN - THE OTHER PARENT HUNG UP ON ME, I TEXTED SOME STUFF, THEY TEXTED BACK - MY LAST TEXT WAS, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO-TO MAKE IT WORK.   STAY TUNED FOR THE OUTCOME!!!

Put UR 2 Cents In!

NOBODY CARES
   I was walking through Kohl's department store ( on Northlake Blvd. NPB, FL ) several months ago when my shoe got snagged on their cheap indoor/outdoor carpet and I came crashing down on the floor with all my body weight because it was so unexpected.  I laid on the floor for 10 minutes before my friend came back to look for me only because I really couldn't get up my shoulder hit the floor and I needed to get my composure back after falling that hard.
   
SOLUTION - TO BE MORE GOD LIKE: I WENT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED IF THOSE CAMERA DOMES IN THE CEILING WORK? THEY SAID, "YES",  THEN I ASKED "THEN WHY DIDN'T ANYONE COME TO MY AID? " DUH, I DUNNO - WAS THE REPLY! I THEN SAID IF I HAD STOLEN SOMETHING FROM YOUR STORE I BET YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ON ME FROM THE FIRST MINUTE YOU/THE STORE HAD SEEN ME! THEY REPLIED, WE'RE SORRY HERE IS SOME KOHL'S CASH - TOLD THEM WHERE TO SHOVE THE KOHL'S CASH!

A friend got pulled over by Palm Beach County Police officer for allegedly speeding ( 17 miles over ), she never had a ticket in her life and asked for a warning although she new she was,t speeding.  The officer pulled two people over with radar that is not accurate.  One was a long haired woman in a Cadillac and one was a short haired woman in a Jeep Wrangler.  
   The officer spoke politely to the woman in the Cadillac and yelled at the woman in the Jeep Wrangler.  After giving the two women their tickets he gave each one the wrong license & ticket back to them.  The woman in the Jeep said, "If you are going to your job then do it correctly.  He then told the woman in the jeep not to leave & stood in front of the drivers side door behind the Jeep mirror, he then said you can't leave yet and purposely made the Jeep mirror hit him and threatened her with assault to an officer. Without the officers knowledge I was in the back seat laying down from a headache and witnessed it all. BUSTED!


SOLUTION - IN ORDER TO BE MORE GOD LIKE: PLEAD NOT GUILTY, GOING TO COURT,  MAKING A COMPLAINT ABOUT HIS CONDESCENDING,  BULLYING ATTITUDE - On February 25, 2011 - I will post the outcome!
