2001 Annual Report, an 84 page, billingual publication.
Acted as designer and production artist on this account, I was responsible for the development of design concepts through to final, print-ready files. I provided all graphics, selected and prepared photographs and handled client relations.
For this science-oriented client, I chose a design with symmetry that breaks the usual mold. The design is oriented on the centre of the page, rather than the top. Sections start with a lead right-hand page, and sub-sections start either at the top or the middle of the page. Section identifiers and page numbers mark the half-page.

Produced for the same client that use the same design semantic. The Federal Identification Program(FIP) required the use of the header and footer graphical identifier. Working with it was part of the design challenge.
Here was an opportunity to further development the design principals established in the 2001 report.
