Jane Davis Doggett, M.F.A. 1956, is known for her career in creating graphic identities and wayfinding systems for massive public spaces, including 40 international airports. Doggett recently invented the concept of IconoChrome images—“geometric designs in colors expressing philosophically profound messages.” Her series, Talking Graphics, consists of these colorful designs, converted to vector images and printed as books and large panels.
