How to be a Woman

  • Adam McCabe
According to Caitlin Moran, being a woman is expensive. Bras, tampons,
razors, handbags, dresses and Brazilian waxes are just a handful of her
every day necessities. This inspired my design response – a receipt
disclosing an assortment of items that foreshadow the contents of the book. While this stays true to the purchases of Caitlin and that of modern women in general, it also hints at the gender stereotype of shopping to represent the book’s feminist themes. I then played with the visual language of the receipt to ensure it is humorous, connoting that the book is often very funny.
