_American Woman
Following the personal journeys of female pioneers in music, film, and fashion with CNN Correspondent Brooke Baldwin, the American Woman video series was already in production prior to the #MeToo movement taking off.

Originally seeking the more nostalgic tone of Norman Rockwell's Americana, we commissioned San Francisco-based illustrator Jon Stich to mirror the poses of poster art of the era, while also incorporating iconography specific to the identity of each of the painting subjects. This art was then scanned and mapped to onto 3D geometry which we built into scenes. The result was a greater individualized location and sense of dimension for each subject.
However, as #MeToo grew, we needed to visually pivot to reflect the vibrancy, energy, and power of this cultural moment. With minimal time remaining before launch, we integrated bold constructivist color and typography into the existing illustrations to better imbue the tone of collective strength and social change.
