The ADM5000 report was a research-based document, investigating the work ethic, standards, and approaches that multidisciplinary design firms employ, and how this further understanding of the set firms can be reflected upon a personal level for undergraduates to apply and use in the future. Three brands representing different design industries of our choice are selected and carefully examined, outlining all crucial information that may be beneficial for future employment applications to a specific industry.

Graphic, product, and interior are sectors that are highly captivating and intertwine each other in work ethic/approach. Knowledge of one can easily be applied to another, and vice versa. The same can be said regarding the type of skills required and usage of programs, where the application of three-dimensional software can be showcased for different aspects of each sector, and not just be used for one.

Graphic firm ANCHOVY.PLC, interior design David Collins Studio, and product design MUUTO, were selected amongst the plains of highly capable and talented branches because of the visual direction they had decided to employ and use as an identity.  A chapter is dedicated to each company, diving into their work, approach, and inspirations with detail, alongside imagery showcasing their work.

Personal responses and evaluation of the report are present at the end of the document, establishing the importance of the research carried out about these companies, and their influence as well as the implication for future employment opportunities.
