Black Women Create
Book Design
InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
African American women are underrepresented. In 2019, a statistic was released that only point one percent of creative agencies were owned and operated by women. If this is the case, then an even smaller margin is run by African American women.
The goal for this project was to research leading, creative African American women dominating their industries and create a book about these women.
The book serves as an inspirational guide to women, specifically African-Americans, who seek to enter creative industries and build creative businesses.
The concept for this book was to have a different yet cohesive layout for each spread of each person.
Each spread complements the individual style of the woman and the career that was highlighted. No color was used in this design to further illustrate the need for Black, female creatives.
