About Annual Report Design



My view of the annual report and its role often runs contrary with conventional thinking. Yes, this publication serves as the disclosure function for current shareholders. Smart companies, however, also utilize the annual report as a marketing tool to attract potential shareholders, strategic partners and talent, as well as to influence opinion leaders. The goal is to position the document as a strategic, forward-looking one that clearly differentiates a company or organization from its peers with smart design and gorgeous photography.

Informed to Choose.
Finding the right design company or freelance designer, can be a little daunting if you do not know what to look for. I could simply end here saying you want to use me. However, I would rather you choose me only after you are informed and know what you need to look for. 
When looking at a portfolio you should see professional quality graphics. Graphics that sell you on what they were supposed to. Graphics that catch the eye and also support text and information as in the piece displayed below.  These pages are from an annual report designed for ASTAE (Asia Sustainable and Alternative Energy Program). Since its creation in 1992, ASTAE has helped promote, implement, and scale up the use of sustainable energy solutions in Asia.
