| Satellites Mistaken for Stars |
| With Satellites Mistaken for Stars, Egger contributes to the dialog of experimental graphic design by giving us a book concerned largely with understanding the poetic potential of everyday occurrences and expressing disdain for hierarchical concepts and their boundaries. The seemingly unimportant, banal events of everyday life are documented, re-contextualized and de-constructed; confusion, deficiency and surprise are woven in, bringing these events back into the viewer's field of vision. |

Their award-winning work is seen everywhere, but with few exceptions, they are not celebrated in the same way as their male counterparts. Women of Design explores this contradiction while at the same time shining a light on the work of women designers, both industry veterans and influential newcomers. |
