Every aspect of graphic design can be found in this annual reports, logos, package design, exhibits, book and editorial design, advertising, signage and corporate identity.
At the time (in 1998) I really liked this book. It was given to me by one of the companies featured. However, the book didn't hold up over time. It's out of date (the graphics look very 90's). Hopefully a new addition will be made.
