About Dorina Nowill Jaarverslag

Dorina Nowill is 'n jaarverslag wat ontwerp is vir 'n stigting wat mense bedien wat blind is of swak sig het. Braillepunte word deur die hele publikasie gebruik en vorm frases en teksture langs die gedrukte teks. Die omslag dra droë reliëfkolletjies, sodat die verslag ook deur aanraking gelees kan word. Die bladsye word in vier kleure op offsetpapier gedruk, wat gekies is vir sy poreuse en tasbare oppervlak. Die verslag teken die resultate van die boekjaar aan en stel riglyne vir die volgende jaar. Die ontwerp is daarop gemik om die publikasie inklusief te maak vir elke leser.

Unique Properties
The annual report is permeated by elements in Braille, which dictate the pace of publication and function as components of interaction with the lay reader, bringing him to experience or know this model of writing. Altogether, the pages permeated by the writing of the blind integrate form - writing - and content - subject -, providing an inclusive meaning to the book. Another relevant detail: the cover has a relief print on the dots, allowing blind people to experience tactile reading.

Production Technology
The cover has a proportional book ear, at full opening, a panoramic view of the use of Braille writing points. Still on the cover, the use of dry relief provides a tactile experience to the reader, offering points of braille writing. The publication was printed in CMYK-scale colors, on offset paper, mainly because it offers the tactile aspect due to its porosity.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to develop a publication that, in addition to fulfilling its functional aspects of informing and maintaining the commitment to the governance policy of the Dorina Nowill Foundation, also represented a document that addressed the aspect of the need to include blind or with low vision people.
Research
The Laika method is based on the synergy between linguistic and pictorial skills. Every project begins with the construction of meaning, an affirmation, and the need to design small graphic narratives. Thus, the Dorina Nowill annual report expands upon the detailed and strategic work of building an imaginary universe that represents the culture of the Dorina Nowill brand.
Inspiration
The Dorina Nowill Foundation serves people who are blind or have low vision. Braille writing is incorporated into the daily life of this community. For the design of its annual report, Laika started from this premise and used the points of writing, both in tactile and visual aspects, to compose the graphic identity of this publication. In this way, the points form phrases throughout the publication, in parallel with the graphical writing, composing textures that refer to the foundation's brand.
Project Duration
The project started in February 2019 and finished in May 2019 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Operation Flow
The annual report is intended to mark the entity's fiscal year and establish guidelines for the following year. In addition to the functional aspect of the publication, its aesthetic and graphic aspect is essential to set the date, give the document a longevity and validate its relevance to the sector. As a supporting document and material, it has another fundamental function: to serve as a presentation of the foundation and to contribute to attract sponsors from medium and large companies.
