Annual Report Illustration

Back in 1997, I was commissioned to create illustrations for the Annual Report of a company called Thermo Ecotek. It was a challenging assignment. Here are two info-graphic type illustrations from the ‘nitty-gritty’ pages…

Ok, so much for graphic illustration. Next, I’ll show you the cover illustration:

Where it got interesting was the use of transparent paper in this Annual Report. In two (I’ll present one here) full-page illustrations, I had to provide both a finished image and an overlay, showing hidden pest elements. I’ll explain…

Above, an illustration of a farmer and his crops… below, some hard-to-see infestive pests, which were printed on transparent paper-stock.

When viewed in the printed version, the overlay reveals more clearly where the pests are ‘hidden’…

I had fun with it. I hope you’ve enjoyed my ‘project’ for this week!
