Women, on the other hand, have contributed an essential part in defining the industry of graphic design as we understand it today. The 21st century is a time of science and innovation. There is ongoing progress in the world of science. In every discipline, there has been some kind of progress. In the 21st century, women's roles have also evolved. With respect to women in the field of graphic designing, not much literature is available. The present study aims to investigate the differences and comparisons in design style and genre of female graphic designers of Pakistan, USA, Turkey, and Cyprus pertaining to four themes - visual interpretation, artistic or realistic interpretation, symbolic interpretation, and cultural interpretation. This study incorporates semiotic analysis and presents the findings in the form of figures. It also aims to determine if their design styles have had any effect on their career success.
