Queer Design History

This Queer Design History chart was designed for Ellen Lupton and Jennifer Tobias' upcoming book, Extra Bold: A Feminist, Inclusive, Anti-Racist, Non-Binary Field Guide for Graphic Designers. Silas Munro & Brian Johnson of Polymode and I teamed up to create a comprehensive chart detailing the extensive history of queer culture in its relation to design. We were heavily inspired by "Cubism and Abstract Art," a chart designed by Alfred Barr, known for its visualization of complex ties between multiple pieces of visual culture.
