TRW On the Move (1999)

At the start of 1999 TRW was located in two separate buildings, one downtown and one in the Northgate shopping center. In October of that year, both offices moved to one location on the east side of town, occupying the first floor of a newly built, state-owned building. I was asked to create a moving announcement for publication the local paper.

I kept if fairly simple. Naturally I used the TRW Roadshow images. In my recollection, however, I seem to recall this ad having a this architectural rendering of the building fading into a real picture, one I took of the finished building from about the same angle. I’ll look for it. I may have published that image only in the employee newsletter.

FYI, we are still in the same building 10 years later.

Update: Found it…

Economic Impact Summary (2001)

TRW (now Northrop Grumman) in Helena publishes a summary of how our company and group of employees effects the local economy. It includes everything from education information to home remodeling dollars spent here. Most years I’ve designed a cover for the document, usually involving a theme of growth or partnership with Montana. Before the purchase of TRW by Northrop Grumman in 2003 there were no guidelines at all for this design.

This particular year we move away from the growth theme and went in a global direction. As you can see I’m nothing if not literal as a designer. The images along the left edge were taken from a campaign of marketing materials I designed called the “TRW Roadshow.” I haven’t decided if I’m putting any of the Roadshow material up here, but you will see these six images show up elsewhere, even on the 2009 EIS cover. We believe in recycling at Northrop Grumman…

This particular year we stayed with the growth theme, and this design hits you over the head with it. The images in the circle were taken from a campaign of marketing materials I designed called the “TRW Roadshow.” I haven’t decided if I’m putting any of the Roadshow material up here, but you will see these six images show up elsewhere, even on the 2009 EIS cover. We believe in growth at Northrop Grumman as well as recycling…
