Miscellany
Bits of this and that . . .
Chatter
Chatter, a tell-it-like-it-is market research firm, had struggled for years to describe itself in a quick, engaging way. When Nancy arrived on the scene, she wasn’t sure how to do it either. Then it hit her.
Strut
Until Nancy teamed with Brick Design to create a brochure for Strut, she had no idea that luxury automobiles might require further fancying up with titanium grilles and wheel rims. Who knew?
Forest City + Richard Rogers
When developer Forest City and Pritzker-winning-architect Richard Rogers vied for the contract to remake San Francisco’s Transbay Terminal neighborhood –– replete with the tallest tower in the west –– they turned to Pentagram and Nancy to create a book showcasing the proposal. Spoiler alert: The contract went to another firm.
In case you’re curious to see what might have been, but never will be:
Dreyer’s Willy Wonka Ice Cream
Nancy had a blast channeling her inner Willy Wonka for Dreyer’s new brand of premium ice cream. Along with writing a unique back panel paragraph for each flavor, Nancy whipped up many of the names. (Her favorite? Why, Kerfuffle Truffle, of course.) The design is by Studio Hinrichs.
