PROJECT OVERVIEW

Cooke School and Institute is a private school located in New York City educating students with diverse developmental disabilities and backgrounds, from early childhood through young adulthood. The school envisions a world in which all people with disabilities are included as valued members of their communities, leading independent and purposeful lives.

Trillion was chosen to help the school brand its annual Food for Thought gala which took place at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers in New York City. The special evening featured a tasting menu created by nearly 30 of New York City’s most celebrated chefs.

For the event branding, we incorporated Cooke’s existing color palette and created a unique pattern and typographic lock-up of the event name. We knew the gala would take place in a fantastic venue with large windows that faced the west and enjoyed beautiful sunsets. We created large-scale window clings that allowed light to transmit through and into the interior space. We also created signage identifying the chefs and their restaurants, tabletop centerpieces, posters, main stage backgrounds, step and repeat backgrounds, website graphics, die-cut invitation package, and more.

RESULTS

The event was sold out, with a waitlist, and raised $1.4 million.
