Jacqueline Casey is one of the many women in graphic design who helped shape the world of graphic design with her illustrations in her MIT poster designs—born on April 20, 1927 in Quincy, Massachusetts. Case Studied at the Massachusetts college of art and Design, earning her bachelor’s in fine arts degree in fashion design and illustration in 1949. Casey’s influences include international
typography styles that at the time were recently developed in Switzerland. These early typography styles include some graphic designers like Karl Gerstner, Armin
Hofmann and Josef Müller-Brockmann.

When designing these Posters she will often use strong elemental
imagery manipulated by letterform and will also acknowledge the grid method in her work, I can tell this because the proportion of how the work is laid out is very
well done. Throughout her work, I can see that she mostly applies a black background and the use of geometric shapes.
