ANNUAL REPORT
Cover design for All Nippon Airway's annual report distributed to shareholders. Much of ANA's identity campaigns are based around Japanese national tradition and pride. From magazine ads to print on the onboard snacks, all carry a uniquely japanese design and feel to them. To this end, I designed the cover to evoke perhaps the most well known piece of japanese art, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa", by Hokusai. The typography emphasizes the year for easy legibility and the title is bilingual. Depending on your first language, you may see the english title or japanese title first, but my main goal was to have the company and year be identifiable, no matter what language you speak.
