<br/><br/> ABSTRACT<br/>Graphic designing a typically male-dominated field, and the majority of the most<br/>well-known designers addressed in publications and literature nowadays are all men.<br/>Women, on the other hand, have contributed an essential part in defining the industry<br/>of graphic design as we understand it today. The 21st century is a time of science and<br/>innovation. There is ongoing progress in the world of science. In every discipline,<br/>there has been some kind of progress. In the 21st century, women's roles have also<br/>evolved. With respect to women in the field of graphic designing, not much literature<br/>is available. The present study aims to investigate the differences and comparisons in<br/>design style and genre of female graphic designers of Pakistan, USA, Turkey, and<br/>Cyprus pertaining to four themes - visual interpretation, artistic or realistic<br/>interpretation, symbolic interpretation, and cultural interpretation. This study<br/>incorporates semiotic analysis and presents the findings in the form of figures. It also<br/>aims to determine if their design styles have had any effect on their career success.<br/>Keywords: Graphic Designing, Women Graphic Designers, Influence of Women,<br/>Pakistan, Turkey, Cyprus, United States
