In this annual report for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) — whose mission is “to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination.” — the team at Hyperakt created a solid printed piece that looks like a million bucks but certainly didn’t cost that.

The cover comes with an additional translucent, well, cover that gives the report an immediate tactility and interactivity. And lest the idea seem simple, the production required a bit of keenness to make look so good, with a double hit of white prior to laying down the yellow ink to avoid an overly translucent effect. Inside, the report is strong typography and layout printed crisply in CMYK with the black and white images getting special treatment by being done as duo-tones (Process Black and Pantone Grey).

Overall, whether it’s the printing or the rallying cry on the cover, the report communicates “the potential of the vote,” as Hyperakt explains, “as both the ultimate expression and most fundamental engine of power, justice, and freedom.”
