We pride ourselves in our annual report design specialism, where our secret weapon is to design such beautiful, well-crafted, natural page-turning publications that our readers are completely unaware of our design. The more the reader effortlessly turns pages, absorbing and engaging with the content, the more we achieve our goal of a world-class, human-centric annual report design. We have designed many annual reports over the years – below are a few pages from some of our favourites.

A well-designed annual report seamlessly blends informative content with visual appeal, ensuring it captures and maintains the reader’s attention. Effective use of infographics, diagrams, and images helps to break down complex information and narratives into easily digestible and engaging formats. Consistent branding and a clean, professional layout enhance readability and convey the organisation’s identity. Clear, concise language paired with compelling storytelling can highlight key achievements and future goals, making the report a record of the past year and a tool for inspiring confidence and investment in the organisation’s future. High-quality printing and thoughtful use of colours, fonts, and white space further contribute to an annual report that is both visually striking and functionally effective.
