Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) is preparing for its 50th anniversary in 2026 by releasing a series of annual report-type publications over the next four years. The theme of the 2023 issue is “Our People,” focusing on individuals who have significantly contributed to BUSPH’s legacy. The design aims to create a visual narrative that connects with the audience, featuring stories of these key figures. Inspired by the Beatles’ ampersand typographic pattern, the cover design exudes celebration and vibrancy, using copper foil to draw attention and highlight the names of current faculty and staff. The accompanying duster includes portraits of faculty and staff, setting the tone for this special edition.

The future is Nuclear, Bruce Power Annual Review and Energy Report
Erin Grandmaison – Bruce Power
USA
The 2023 Bruce Power Annual Review and Energy Report showcases the achievements and partnerships of the past year, emphasizing the pathway to a clean energy future. The Creative Strategy team incorporated a graphical line throughout the design to symbolize various paths, such as journeys, electrical circuits, and future directions. The design features bold text and colors paired with delicate elements like thin lines and icons, creating a dynamic visual contrast. A vibrant electric yellow, an enhanced version of their safety yellow, was used to evoke a futuristic and energetic feel. Documentary-style photography highlights people and the natural environment, with intentional yellow and blue accents to signify safety, light, and innovation. Additionally, the data visualizations were redesigned to improve comprehension and complement the report’s narrative.

Type Something For Me
Joyce Shi – G Axis Press
USA
Type Something For Me documents an interest in typography through three distinct perspectives: type as enigma, type as a way of seeing, and type as reflection. It is the capstone of a year-long exploration into what type can be, and is meant to serve as a starting point for further investigation. With articles such as “The Power of Design(ers)?” “Design as Commodity,” “On Art and Its Form in the Age of Mass Media,” and a number of others, Shi has crafted a volume that offers multiple points of entry for those interested in thinking more deeply about typography and its effects.

Naked Trails
Kyle Poff – Leo Burnett Chicago
USA
Granola is often seen as a commodity but Bear Naked aims to elevate its brand from functional to emotional through a campaign designed by Leo Burnett Chicago. Targeting hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, the campaign encourages thinking “Bear Naked” over “granola,” emphasizing the brand’s real ingredients and great taste. As attitudes towards nudity, mental health, and self-expression shift, the niche community of nude hikers has grown. However, despite being legal in National Parks, nude hiking faces challenges due to inconsistent enforcement. Bear Naked’s “Naked Trails,” powered by Gaia GPS, provides a safe, community-supported trail system for nude hikers. Launched on Naked Hiking Day 2023, the campaign partnered with Outside Inc. to produce custom content, video, and social engagement, promoting safe and confident exploration of nature. Additionally, they created a hiker’s belt to hold granola, ensuring hikers are always prepared.

Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago Design Studio
USA
With the international re-opening of museums, the Museum of Contemporary Art produced MCA NOW to amplify museum programming and exhibitions. Building awareness of the MCA to a broad audience, including families, art lovers, and tourists, this new series of collateral is designed as part of a brand refresh to be welcoming and encourage repeat visitation. This first issue, distributed in-person and mailed, transforms from a matte, bi-fold booklet into a 20 x20 inch glossy poster that lists the events and exhibitions of the season. The Creative Studio at the MCA centered full-color, inspirational imagery of both art and the community within the asset, using hits of neon pink from the updated brand palette to highlight museum information and event summaries.

I.a.Eyeworks Booklet
Becca Lofchie – Becca Lofchie Studio
USA
With more than 40 years of groundbreaking work in the realm of optical design, retail/wholesale development, and a frequently slippery, idiosyncratic brand identity, the parameters outlining this print project for l.a.Eyeworks asked for something gigantic in scope and condensed in presentation. The publication’s designer was tasked with serving multiple goals: to encapsulate l.a.Eyeworks’ enormous visual and material history into five “pillars” without becoming a dense and confining history/chronology; to create a document with multiple points of entry and enticing reveals from front to back (and back to front) for anyone unfamiliar with the brand; to make a training manual of sorts for opticians who sell l.a.Eyeworks glasses worldwide; to create a document alluring enough to find a place front of house in independent optical boutiques; to likewise craft a publication that would stand apart from glossy seasonal look books that crowd the optical field; to illuminate the brand’s affinity for artistic collaboration, passion for expressive color, and devotion to thought-provoking wordplay; and above all, to honor the pioneering eyewear designs and visual culture of l.a.Eyeworks.

Orb Time Font (OTF)
Raven Mo
USA
This clock is called OTF, or Orb Time Font. Living on a tiny blue orb that is the Earth, time is what we all experience, and fonts are the shapes of our languages. Before Raven Mo started research in script and language representation in design, the designer had always thought that our creative industry works around what seems to be everyone’s norm. Design for English-speaking users is just called design, and Latin typography is mostly just typography. Though humans revolve around what is perceived as default, like clockwork, there is so much more beyond Latin and English. To that end, Orb Time Font gives users the choice to recenter the conversation, to people who are native to the language they speak.

Hand Copying Meditation
Miki Kawamura
Germany
Miki Kawamura embarked on a year-long project to craft a unique alphabet influenced by Japanese Buddhist principles, fashioning each letter as if reciting a prayer. Inspired by the Japanese belief in perseverance and repetition fostering transformation, Kawamura sought to create a new visual realm by arranging basic elements into bubble-like structures, symbolizing adaptability and diverse meanings through different combinations. Initially resembling typical text posters, a closer look reveals the alphabet embedded within clusters of bubbles, with notable examples including ‘Fizzy’ and ‘The flow of the river is constant and it is not original water,’ achieved by printing the alphabet and spraying water droplets over them. The phrase ‘The flow of the river is constant and it is not original water’ embodies Buddhist concepts of impermanence and ongoing change, encapsulating Kawamura’s reflections throughout the project within the bubbles.

Afar: Cultural Cards
Andy Vera
USA
“Afar” is a customized version of the popular two-player card game, Lost Cities, played by designer Andy Vera and his long-distance boyfriend. The project involves the creation of bespoke card decks that reflect their unique identities and shared journey, with a website documenting the design process. Inspired by their Indian and Mexican heritage, the decks feature thematic elements symbolizing unity and individuality, including a vibrant color palette inspired by Mexico City, Arabic horses representing Vera’s family history, and jaguars symbolizing strength and transformation in Mexican mythology. The face cards replace the traditional Jack with representations of the Queen, King, and “Joining,” signifying unity, while floral motifs from both cultures adorn the cards, with the lotus flower symbolizing divine perfection and unity in their relationship.

Foundry Field in South Bend, Indiana, is poised to become one of the rare publicly accessible baseball fields in the urban core, representing a collaboration among various community stakeholders, including an adult recreational baseball league, neighborhood association, Boys & Girls Club, Civil Rights Heritage Center, public schools, and the city’s parks department. Named after the Foundry Giants, an all-Black baseball team from the 1920s, the field seeks to revive history by honoring underrepresented teams and narratives, including an all-black women’s team from the 1940s, a Potawatomi team from the early 1900s, and the pivotal role of South Bend in baseball’s integration in 1947. Featuring murals by underrepresented artists depicting these histories, Foundry Field aims to ignite conversations about race, representation, and accessibility, enhancing the space alongside a vintage baseball field, hand-operated scoreboard, public pavilion, and historical markers. Intended as a community gathering spot for intergenerational play, the project celebrates the strength, resilience, and innovation of historically underrepresented community members.

Curt Bloch and his Onderwater Cabaret
Thilo von Debschitz – Q
Germany
During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Curt Bloch, a German Jew, evaded deportation and death by creating 96 magazines titled “Het Onderwater-Cabaret,” containing nearly 500 German and Dutch poems over three years. These circulated within the Enschede resistance network, reflecting Bloch’s emotions of fear, despair, and hope for freedom. Now, 80 years later, these magazines and poems are showcased on curtbloch.com, providing insight into Bloch’s courageous efforts. The website, developed with Bloch’s daughter Simone and supported by German Rotary Clubs, aims to educate about Nazi injustices in the face of contemporary nationalism and antisemitism. It features keyword lists, timelines, and trilingual content, with volunteers worldwide assisting in translating the poems and providing historical context on editorial pages.
