JTI Illicit Tobacco Trade Report


JTI - Japan Tobacco International is the world’s third largest industry player, with a global market share of 11% and market capitalisation of approximately USD 32 billion.

JTI required a report to highlight the growing problem of tobacco smuggling, counterfeit products and its victims. This was sent to members of parliament and governing bodies to underline their role in the issue and persuade a re-think on levels of taxation.

The design challenge was to break down a large amount of raw statistics and information and present them in a way that was digestible and engaging for the target reader.

This project was completed whilst in full-time employment with LMC Design.
