Challenge

Design an annual report showcasing the Dunia's financial performance in a clear way, and also paying tribute to the financial institution's roots in Abu Dhabi. Researching local history, we discovered Abu Dhabi is a place of contradictions: a progressive metropolis underpinned by traditional norms. I needed to capture the symbiosis of cultures, so I worked closely with a local photographer to shoot a suite of original images. The layout and content then followed the story of the brand's progress for the year with Abu Dhabi's growth as its backdrop.
