40 years have passed since the Design History Society was formed in 1977. Additionally, the Journal of Design History, created by the Society in 1987 - and now a leading journal in the field - celebrates its third decade of publication this year. To commemorate both milestones, the Society decided a poster should be created for the upcoming DHS 2017 Annual Conference.

I spent Valentine's Day 2017 in New York in anticipation of one of the largest international art history gatherings - the College Art Association Annual Conference - at which I would be co-chairing the Design History Society's inaugural panel as an affiliate society. This was a valuable opportunity to work with a larger, US-based organisation and promote the DHS internationally.
