50 years of milestones

In 2008, AJ Lucas—an Australian infrastructure, construction and civil property company—celebrated their 50th anniversary. The annual review for this year needed to be designed ‘with a difference’. The challenge was, what was the difference going to be? Along with the rest of the report, the logical solution was to create a timeline mapping the 50 years since AJ Lucas was formed, in the context of the rest of the world. This involved countless hours of research, fact-checking and of course lovingly crafting it all to fit into an A4 double-gatefold. The timeline includes such necessities as the winner of The Ashes, world oil prices, Australian governments, significant buildings, the average weekly wage—and the history of AJ Lucas of course.

The ‘regular’ part of the annual report included editorial pieces, commissioned photography and infographics,
to create an informative and engaging publication...

...but of course, the real prize was revealed when opening the ‘centrefold’—a detailed timeline of the past 50 years,
with almost everything you’d ever want (or not want) to know about almost anything you can think of.
