Design Center of the Philippines Annual Report 2018

The Annual Report 2018 for the Design Center of the Philippines is designed by Filipino agency Plus63. Titles are set in Cako from VJ Type, with Aperçu by Colophon used for text.

Using the “dot” as a visual element, it moves across the book and directs the reader to these intertwining stories about the people, places and ideas that the Design Center has been working on that year. The use of dry emboss adds a tactile quality that emphasizes this.

In this annual report, each book is organized around themes:

Book 1 shows how community artisans and designers can learn from one another in developing heritage and craft-based products, and why investing in our young designers is important more than ever.

Book 2 explores how we take on the challenge in the research and design of materials that will benefit people and the planet.

Book 3 focuses on the role of communities and creative leadership in striving for an inclusive and sustainable future.
