The title of the 2018–2019 annual report for the Ottawa Department of Medicine, ‘Re:Focus’, was an intentional play-on-words alluding to the Department’s efforts to focus their attention on specific goals, as well as their need to refocus to gain new perspectives in medicine.
This theme was carried throughout the report, echoed in the chapter titles (Re:Vision, Re:Generate, etc.), and in the abstract feel of the imagery and graphics. Further inspired to present a report that ‘looked at things in a new way’, the report was printed with a limited palette of three vibrant Pantone inks.
