Ontario Arts Council

How do you make numbers and financial content come alive? By taking apart its numeric symbol and sculpting it into artistic geometric shapes. 

The Ontario Arts Council is a publicly funded Canadian organization that funds various programs, artists, and classes throughout Ontario. Beehive was approached to design their annual report using our creative mindset to make it standout, given it’s financial content. We were able to conceptualize something using creative means and abstract thinking. Our focus for the annual report was the percentage sign, through an abstract and artistic form. We broke down the symbol into geometric shapes to further enhance the intrigue of the spatial relationship between the graphic form and colourized images. Beehive also designed a special gatefold cover to roll-out the core programs we wanted to highlight visually in the report. We had the ability to find the core message, then understand and interpret it into an abstract style.
