In 2009, HHMI presented a dual annual report challenge to VSA: find a way to prioritize the Web as the main channel for annual report delivery for the first time in HHMI history; and develop a compelling and groundbreaking report that reflects their collaborative and forward-thinking nature.
An abbreviated print piece was developed in lieu of a full printed annual report while a full-featured online annual report was created. Together, they convey relevant information in a sophisticated and rich way that is user-friendly and approachable for HHMI’s diverse audience. The online report features illustration as its primary form of art (like all previous HHMI reports) as well as interactive graphs, maps and scientist profiles.
