Well Done: a food company annual report that has to be cooked first

Croatian creative agency Bruketa & Zinić have designed an annual report for food company Podravka that has to be baked in an oven before it can be read.

Called Well Done, the report features blank pages printed with thermo-reactive ink that, after being wrapped in foil and cooked for 25 minutes, reveal text and images.

Here are details from Bruketa & Zinić:

Well Done, the annual report for food company you have to bake before use

Empty pages become filled with content after being baked at 100°C for 25 minutes.

“Well done” created by Bruketa & Zinić is the new annual report for Podravka, the biggest food company in South-East Europe. It consists of two parts:

  • a big book containing numbers and a report of an independent auditor
  • a small booklet that is inserted inside the big one that contains the very heart of Podravka as a brand: great Podravka’s recipes.

To be able to cook like Podravka you need to be a precise cook. That is why the small Podravka booklet is printed in invisible, thermo-reactive ink. To be able to reveal Podravka’s secrets you need to cover the small booklet in aluminium foil and bake it at 100 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.

If you are not precise, the booklet will burn, just as any overcooked meal. If you have successfully baked your sample of the annual report, the empty pages will become filled with text, and the illustrations with empty plates filled with food.

The annual report is printed on paper Conqueror Laid Brilliant White 120 g/m2, Munken Polar 130 g/m2 and Soporset 90 g/m2 and written with typography Thema by Nikola Djurek and Lexicon by Bram De Does.

The creative team of the project consists of Creative Directors Davor Bruketa & Nikola Zinić; Art directors Davor Bruketa, Nikola Zinić, Imelda Ramovi, Mirel Hadžijusufović; Copywriters Davor Bruketa, Nikola Zinić, Lana Cavar, Teo Tarabarić, Project manager Mirna Grzelj; Prepress: Danko Đurašin and editor Drenislav Zekić.

This is the seventh annual report for Podravka designed by Bruketa & Zinić OM. Those seven books won numerous awards worldwide such as London International Awards (Gold), Art Directors Club New York (Silver), Red Dot (Best of the Best), Cresta (Winner of Category), I.D. Annual Design Review (Best of Category), Type Directors Club (Typographic Excellence), Graphis (Gold) , Creativity (Gold) , Good Design (Graphics Award), HOW International Design Awards (Best of Show), Moscow International Advertising Festival (Gold), International Forum Communication Design (Design Award) and ARC Awards (Gold).

Bruketa & Zinić OM is a 60-people independent agency based in Zagreb, Croatia. It was established 10 years ago. The agency has been awarded for their projects by many prestigious contests and their work has been presented in many publications, books and exhibitions worldwide.

Manuela Pfrunder’s Swiss Banknote design (A curious choice as it was actually just a competition entry, and only a second prize at that. When the winners of its contest to design new banknotes were announced last February, the Swiss National Bank was at pains to point out that it wasn’t obliged to use any of them on real notes - not even the winner )

Over the summer the Design Museum contacted a broad range of practitioners and critics in the the fields of architecture, furniture, graphics, product, transport, fashion and interactive design (including me) to nominate “exemplary projects within contemporary design”. As far as I remember, the letter, which came from the DM director, Deyan Sudjic, placed no limit on the geographic location of nominations, we were just asked for outstanding work from 2007. These nominations then formed the basis for a shortlist of work that will be exhibited at the Museum from 13 February to 27 April, during which time an award ceremony will also take place, announcing winners in various categories as well as an overall winner (no details yet as to what those categories are or how winners will be chosen). The exhibition will occupy the entire second floor of the museum showcasing over 100 projects across the disciplines.

As previously mentioned, other work confirmed for the show includes Cartlidge Levene’s new wayfaring system for Selfridges (shown below and to be featured in the February issue of CR), Jeremy Leslie’s magCulture magazine design blog and Sao Paulo’s Clean City laws (covered in CR June 07) under which outdoor advertising was banned from the city.

It’s a strong shortlist and a quirky one. The latter is no doubt due to the selection process and the lack of an entry fee. It’ll be interesting to compare the Design Museum’s selection with the winners of D&AD, the work selected for the CR Annual and all the other design awards coming up. As for predictions of the winner, in terms of impact and ambition, Helvetica is going to be hard to beat…
