The thing about annual reports is…
...they tend to strike fear into the hearts of designers, raising the prospect of countless late nights and lost weekends. On the other hand, report design also requires precision, typographical discipline, creative challenges and time management, all useful career skills.

In our experience, a clear brief directly from the corner office is ideal if not essential to the successful creative development of the report. We have been fortunate in working with chief executives, financial officers and corp comms directors who understand and support the role of design in investor relations.
