Thunder Chunky recently
interviewed Pixar's Susan Bradley, who works as a type and graphic designer at the studio. Her most recent work can be seen in
Ratatouille. From the interview:
One of your roles on the film was graphic designer; what sort of things did this entail?
There were a few of us working with the talented Harley Jessup and we basically took different scenes and developed them graphically. Our research, done in and about Paris, was vast and we tried to keep a consistent style going for Brad; a touch of whimsy, but not too much. My biggest scene was the design of the rat poison products for the front window of the Paris exterminator shop – which is a real place! It was strange developing something evil in the world of our adorable little friends, but that was the point.

Thanks to Jon for the pointer!
