| One overriding belief directs all creative work at M. Agnew & Company: the best and most effective communication solutions spring from the unique benefits of the client company and its products. The job of the graphic designer is to clearly and efficiently communicate the company’s strengths to the desired target audience without graphic fads or artificial overlaid styles.
Marianne Agnew, the principal of the firm, was trained at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where she focused her studies on Corporate Identity and Packaging. From Art Center, she was recruited by Landor Associates in San Francisco. During her five years as a Project Director at Landor Associates, she directed numerous domestic and international corporate identity programs for clients including Bank of America, Peat Marwick, ARCO and Woolworths Australia. Her work included development of worldwide standards for identity use, as well as the writing and design of the manuals which document and preserve the identity systems.
