Pentagram was asked to create a new look that would align the report to the updated ofi brand. Colour, illustration and photography are cleverly combined to capture the richness of cocoa and the different communities that work closely with ofi.

A grid system was designed to allow the content to be arranged flexibility across the report and provide structure to the overall design language. Illustration also plays a key role in the report – the design team commissioned and art-directed a series of original illustrations from Benjamin Flouw. The illustrations are friendly, engaging and uplifting, combining layers of texture and colour to reflect the natural beauty and complexity of cocoa. Each section is introduced by a title illustration that weaves together the text and cocoa-inspired imagery. Colour is also used to distinguish between the different group sections, allowing users to navigate easily through the report.
