bruketa&zinic om: in good hands color changing annual report

‘in good hands’ thermally activated annual report by adris group images © domagoj kunic 

despite the economic crisis, zagreb-based bruketa&zinic om has conceived an annual report book cover for croatian adris group that changes color with thermal activation, reflecting on the success of the employee owned company in the past year. the project ‘in good hands’ reveals floral details when heated by the palm of a hand, metaphorically illustrating how hands can achieve anything. the same especially calibrated thermo-color is used for the inner illustrations, where the concept is evoked by the short stories where workers and stockholders share their personal view to the past, future and influence of adris group on their lives.

the annual report is also featured in a digital version adjusted for the ipad making distribution easier and enabling a higher level of user interaction, making it possible to refresh information even after being published. like with the printed book, a reader can simulate the thermally-changing visual graphics on the tablet.

the same especially calibrated thermo color as on the covers was used for the inside illustrations
