We were rather taken with this quirky annual report for Basler Kantonal Bank. Cleverly illustrated by Harriet Russell the project was commissioned by Swiss design agency New Identity. She loved the project saying that: “It was a great brief - my job was to provide visual interpretations of various unusual place-names in Basel: ’ Hare’s castle’, ‘11,000 virgins alley’ and ‘Chamois mountain’ to name a few. I was asked not to think about what the real place looked like, but was instead completely free to use the name as inspiration for my drawings. It was a fairly long process of many sketches and ideas and also involved two day trips to Basel for meetings!
