CLIENT

LIVESTRONG Foun­da­tion is a Unit­ed States non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion that pro­vides sup­port for peo­ple affect­ed by cancer.


BRIEF

2012 marked the best year-to-date finan­cial­ly for the LIVESTRONG Foun­da­tion, despite the con­tro­ver­sy around their founder Lance Arm­strong. The pur­pose of the annu­al report was to shift focus of the brand to the inspir­ing sto­ries of can­cer sur­vivors and the suc­cess­es of the Foundation.


APPROACH

We designed the annu­al report to visu­al­ly com­mu­ni­cate the lay­ered expe­ri­ence of hav­ing can­cer. Var­ied tex­tures and pat­terns lay­ered with com­plex ques­tions and med­ical jar­gon sig­ni­fy the sup­port as well as the uncer­tain­ties present through­out the over­whelm­ing can­cer experience.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

Hand-pulling 770 screen printed covers is real physical labor, especially when you factor in six colors—also, to make 770 books, you have to screen print 900 covers to account for the binding process. Being that the concept is all about the parallels between the layers of being a cancer patient and the layers of silkscreening, the design utilizes dot patterns that would typically be a nightmare for offset printing. Hennegan’s stochastic screening technique eliminated all moire patterning and produced a super-sharp print. Without this technique, the final print would not be nearly as successful.
