TESTIMONIAL

“Our company used Ignition Creative for a glossy magazine style Annual Report this year.

Wayne and his team were brilliant to work with, they listened to what we were after and sensitive to the Indigenous nature of our business.  Wayne is extremely knowledgeable in all things design and provided great advice, resulting in a publication we are extremely happy with and proud of.  We will definitely use Ignition Creative again for future projects.  Thanks Wayne and the team for guiding us through this process and producing a really great result for us.”

ANNUAL REPORT DESIGN PROCESS

Initial Brief

Together, we discuss and define the criteria for your annual report. These include timelines and scheduling, as well as statutory and essential regulatory requirements, such as:

  • general corporate information
  • operating and financial highlights
  • CEO letter to the shareholders
  • narrative text, graphics and photos
  • management’s discussion and analysis
  • financial statements including the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement

Theming

While your brand will inform the backbone of your annual report design, we’ll work with you to develop your theme as well. To find your overarching theme, we’ll look at your year in review, the stand out highlights and where your organisation is heading. Together we’ll define your theme, tone and personality so that your authentic voice can engage your customers and investors and drive your goals into the future.

Concept Development

You will receive two unique concepts to choose from that respond to your brief and showcase your business.

Each concept will have a cover design and a double-page spread, and will explain the proposed infographics, typography styles and colour palette reflecting the chosen theme. We’ll take your feedback seriously. Because while we’re experts in annual report design, you’re the expert in your business. Your insight at this stage is vital to creating a fantastic result.

Design & Construction

At this stage:

  • infographics are designed and built.
  • all photography is digitally enhanced to ensure consistent colour balance, brightness and contrast.
  • any necessary photographic imagery is built.
  • supporting graphic elements are incorporated into the design.

Revision and Proofing

Naturally, you’ll need to invite, share and receive feedback from your internal stakeholders before giving us your final feedback.

Our proprietary online digital proofing system is a collaborative platform that allows you to seamlessly work with your internal team to gather all your feedback into one place. It includes discussion tools, easy-to-use mark-up tools and a simple facility for proof-version comparison.

Print and Delivery

Once you’re completely happy, we’re happy to help you manage the details of printing your annual report for you.

This can include sourcing and incorporating specialty stocks, plus embellishments such as foiling, embossing and die-cutting.

If you wish, we also manage the print process and oversee the distribution of your annual report to your stakeholders. And we can also provide final press-ready PDFs or digital files for online publication.

We’re able to support you in a way that makes your job easier and gets your annual report in the hands of the right people at the right time.
