Art + Architecture

Elmhurst Art Museum is a gem that's tucked away in the Chicago Suburbs. It's both an art museum and architectural destination. Connected to the museum is the McCormick House, a unique mid-20th century design. One of only three houses designed by pioneering modern architect Mies van der Rohe. It has become an integral portion of the museums galleries. You can literally step inside history and take in the view. Steel and glass support the structure, contemporary and modern art fill the space. Beth Nagy Design was asked to work with the executive director and marketing department to spark renewed interest in the museum, it's exhibitions, programs and the Mies McCormick House. We started with a redesign of the museum newsletter.

The new design included printing economically and delivering efficiently to the museum's broad community.

Outside the museum, banners announce the brand and exhibitions inside.

Reigniting the connection to Mies van der Rohe and his mid-20th century jewel, a new brand was designed for the McCormick House.

It is based on his floor plan of two adjacent rectangles.
