A short promotional brochure for Eco-Research Ltd, with cover printed in black and bright green — a clear relation to the environmental field in which the company worked. Montréal and Toronto based Eco-Research provided research and analytical services for industrial organisations, offering environmental quality assessment such as air and water testing to determine the effects of pollutants on the surrounding area.

Dominating the front cover is a series of angled test tubes, distilled to bold graphic shapes. Each contains a black and white image relating to the organisation’s field, positioned to alter the ‘measure’ in the tubes.

Use of a strict three column grid throughout the interior underlines the clinical nature of the content, and serves to present the information with clarity. This is warmed by plenty of imagery to illustrate facilities and processes, as well as staff members to bring a human touch to the company’s services (not shown above).
