We collaborated with Ogilvy & Mather New York to develop a visual vocabulary for IBM's 'Smarter Planet' campaign. Each ad covers a different topic, such as energy, food, banking and retail, with an essay about how these areas can be transformed to improve the world. Inspired by IBM's vision to help solve the world's biggest problems, and influenced by Paul Rand's original design vision for the company, we developed bold, iconic illustrations to help tell each story.
