Annual Report design
that helps your business Get noticed.
Annual Reports that people will actually want to read.
First Quarter - it’s the time of year, when the Karen’s of the world are processing financial information for businesses, companies and not-for-profit groups to be included in annual reports.
Now, generally, Annual Reports have a bit of a reputation for being long winded, text heavy and really, just ticking boxes. And most people probably don’t even read them!
At Synergy Graphics, we want to change that!
We love the challenge of taking a word document, heavy with text and figures and turning it into a document that is easy to read as well as visually appealing. The use of infographics, colourful graphs and tables, can easily tell a story in place of pages and pages of words.
Why choose Synergy Graphics to design your Annual Report.
As funny as it sounds, Annual Reports are actually one of our favourite things to design!
We love the challenge, we love how infographics can tell a story so much clearer than pages and pages of text - AND… we have more than 25 years’ experience so we have great ideas to make your report shine.
✔ Strategic layout and document structure
✔ Eye-catching charts, graphs & infographics
✔ Consistent branding throughout
✔ Print & digital formats available
Annual reports don't have to be boring. Our report designs are clean, professional and easy to digest, while still looking great. Whether printed or digital, we help your organisation tell its story clearly.

FAQs.

Absolutely! We love the challenge of translating complex data and text heavy documents into visually appealing, easy-to-read layouts.

For sure! We can supply low resolution or interactive PDFs for online use as well as print-ready files for professional printing.
This will be discussed during your discovery session so we are clear on the outcome before we get started.
-
It can depend on what content we have available to work with, and how many rounds of edits are required.
If all content is approved before we receive it, and we get all the content up front for us to work on, then turnaround time can be as short as 1-2 weeks.
2-4 weeks is probably more standard, especially for longer reports and allowance for approvals, but we’ll work with you based on your deadline.
there are no stupid questions…
Annual Report Design Process.
in summary…
We aim to make our Annual Report design service as stress-free as possible, with clear processes, collaboration and transparency:
Discovery & Brief – We begin with a conversation about your goals, audience, deadlines, and what content is already available. We’ll also guide you on what works well in annual reports from a design perspective.
Costings and Payment Options - Once we have a better idea of page count, content complexity etc, we will send a quote with optional print pricing and payment options. On acceptance of the quote, we arrange your deposit invoice.
Concept Development – On receipt of your deposit and content from you, we will get started! We develop an initial layout concept (usually a few sample pages) so you can see how your content will come to life visually.
Refinement – With your feedback, we design the full report and work through rounds of revisions to refine layout, tone, flow, and any info graphics.
Final Delivery – Once you’re happy, you’ll receive final files for both print and digital distribution, including an interactive PDF if requested. We can also liaise with your printer if required, or we can manage printing if preferred.
