Wu Chien-Shiung — Biography poster

Poster Design

Created for a graphic design assignment to honor women scientists, this poster celebrates experimental physicist Wu Chien-Shiung. Wu is recognized as one of the most influential yet under-acknowledged figures in 20th-century physics whose groundbreaking research supported many discoveries credited to her male peers. Centered on a quote from a 1964 speech she delivered at MIT, the poster treats her words as both visual and conceptual anchors. By annotating the quote—linking its scientific references to Wu’s interdisciplinary achievements—the design restoring visibility to her lasting impact on science.
