STEP INSIDE
As Tiffany Meyers observes in her overview of the 100 winners, one can’t peg 2009 as the year of any specific color or typographic convention. But the winning projects are reflective of today’s increasingly diverse design discipline. In fact, one has to wonder if there is any longer such a thing as a design discipline—in light of today’s fast-changing and even amorphous practice, the word discipline seems a little out of place.

STEP Design 100 Annual 2006: Product and Service Booklets (cont'd)

84. ODGIS + COMPANY
Partners gather from North, South, East, and West for Price Waterhouse Coopers’ 05 Leadership Summit. The four quadrants of the world coming together are mirrored in the imagery used throughout the information materials designed for the summit by Odgis + Company. “We took an image and mirrored it twice,” says Janet Odgis, creative director and president. No other manipulation was done to create the intricate geometric shapes that appear on the pieces.

Another inspiration for the design was the location of the conference. “Because it was Beijing we took an origami approach,” notes Odgis.

“We were interested in folding paper, but the materials also had to be very functional. We had to marry content with functionality,” adds designer Banu Berker. Each piece is one page of paper with one idea on one side and one on the other side. PWC was happy with the usability of the design, as were Odgis and Berker. “I just love that everything came together into this tight little package,” exclaims Odgis.
