Promoting the Progress of an Acclaimed Cancer Center

The University of Kansas Cancer Center partners with Casual Astronaut to create engaging annual reports that showcase its cutting-edge research and vibrant community outreach.

Three publications are shown against an orange background. The first features the title "Beyond the Bench 2022" with medical staff and lab equipment illustrations. The second headline reads "Cancer Center Earns Prestigious Status." The third displays "Building a Future Beyond Cancer" with an image of a modern building.

The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) is transforming cancer care through world-class research and personable outreach in communities across Kansas. KUCC tasked C/A to redesign its printed annual report, Beyond the Bench, which showcases news, people and research from around the center. The goal of the redesign was to improve engagement with internal stakeholders, donors and members of peer institutions.

Custom Illustrations & QR Codes

For the 2022 annual report, C/A produced custom illustrations that creatively and cohesively expressed life at KUCC. The eye-catching cover illustration complemented artwork in the main feature about receiving an esteemed “Comprehensive” designation from the National Cancer Institute. Throughout the issue, QR codes invited readers to learn more about research, find clinical trials and give financial support.

Spotlighting a New Facility

KUCC again turned to C/A for the 2023 edition of Beyond the Bench, led by the story of a $100 million donation for the construction of a new, more integrated cancer center. C/A’s design for this issue highlighted the architect’s renderings of the gleaming new building to help readers envision KUCC’s prominent place in the future of cancer care.
