✼ Inspirational quote by Paula Scher.
❛ It's through mistakes that you actually can grow. ❜
Who is this #remarkablewomen ?
Paula Scher (born October 6, 1948, Washington, D.C.) is an American graphic designer, painter and art educator in design. She also served as the first female principal at Pentagram, which she joined in 1991
Paula Scher worked with associate designer Courtney Gooch to create the identity for , a non-profit that is dedicated to providing affordable and safe access to menstrual products in the United States. She worked with Period Equity co-founders, Jennifer Weiss Wolf and Laura Strausfeld, to create the identity. Weiss-Wolf and Strausfeld initially wanted to call their organization "Menstrual Equality", but Scher saw Period Equity as less off-putting.The term "period" is more playful than "menstrual", and allows for more graphic options. When the organization achieves its goal, the name can be shifted to "Equity, Period". This will allow them to later extend their work beyond menstrual inequality into other issues.
Scher used the typeface New Rail Alphabet, designed by Margaret Calvert, for its neutral appearance, but replaced its square-edged punctuation with round.The branding concept puts their wordmark in between two big red dots on a white background.These dots are meant to allude to the idea of periods, but they are used in a clean and modernist style.The identity also uses copy such as "Periods are not luxuries. Period." to play with the theme.The identity is serious enough for legal work, but also loud and fun, which is necessary when discussing a topic that is normally stigmatized and seen as not appropriate to discuss in public.Wikipedia, 2021.
