Odgis + Co is honored to have designed the 2022 GCA Annual Report for the 6th year, focusing on “Partnerships That Build New York.” This new iteration tells the story of GCA’s expansive network of relationships. Our goal was to express that concept visually, utilizing compelling graphics, vibrant illustrations, and photographs that work together to demonstrate how GCA and its partners accomplish their goals to benefit the city and those who call it home. 

Our design highlights the breadth of GCA's work by showcasing current projects and initiatives. The design captures the concept visually with colored, translucent shapes that overlap to form new colors. Word and image unite, employing geometric patterns to express the energy of Airports, Parks & Waterfronts, Water & Sewer, Transit & Rail, and Roads & Bridges that are the infrastructure of New York. The same visual language is used to illustrate abstract concepts for Labor Relations, Safety, and Advocacy, which are the backbone of GCA’s offerings to their members. This cohesive design simplifies complex information into an eye-catching, harmonious portrayal, bringing delight and understanding. 
 
GCA collaborates with their members and partners to build a smarter and safer New York; collaboration has been at the heart of GCA since it was founded 111 years ago. Using their collective strength to overcome challenges and obstacles, these partnerships allow them to live up to the claim “We Build New York.”
