Graphic Design: Ethnic And Gender Discrimination

Abstract: 10 pages in length. Ethnic and gender discrimination is no stranger to the workplace. Inasmuch as graphic design is essentially a white man's world, it has been extremely difficult for ethnic women to break the mold and be represented for their talents, while not being overlooked merely because of their gender. To say that ethnic women have had to fight for their existence within the world of graphic design would be a gross understatement. Indeed, the road to self-expression through the artistic expression has been paved with patriarchal intolerance and characteristic skepticism. That women have been forced to prove their worthiness within the stringent boundaries of a male-dominated industry speaks volumes about the inherent fortitude that comprises the female spirit. The concept of feminism embodies a number of critical theories by which to better address the various perspectives of interdisciplinary connection. The writer discusses that a primary quest exists to assess the sometimes-strained yet always misunderstood relations between the genders within the graphic design industry. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
