Mammalian Diving Reflex 2019 Annual Report: Making connections in unusual ways

Acme was commissioned to design the inaugural annual report for Mammalian Diving Reflex, an organization known for its innovative and socially-engaged performances, installations, and artworks. Mammalian Diving Reflex specializes in creating site-specific and social-specific events that bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering dialogue and breaking down barriers.

The annual report features vibrant performance photography that captures the essence of Mammalian’s work, complemented by unique string illustrations crafted by Acme. These illustrations, created by wrapping string around nails on templates to form intricate charts, infographics, and the company logo, add a tactile and visually engaging element to the report. The cover proudly displays Mammalian’s logo rendered in string, setting the tone for a document that celebrates creativity and community. You can view the full report here.
