2018 Annual Report
The Up Center
AWARD RECOGNITIONS
The Energy of Action
In evolving the annual report from previous years, collaboration with The Up Center’s team to generate a document that brought positivity, freshness, and future-forward feeling was imperative while also making it clear that donors and supporters are the lifeblood of the organization.
Smart Design
The final produced report captured The Up Center’s story of success while also sticking to a solid 8-pages of print along with a gatefold that gave them additional space to highlight statistics and list out their entire donor pool.
What kind of print and digital design do you offer?
Our team is composed of skilled designers, copywriters, and developers, meaning we can offer a range of design services! Most commonly, we offer custom brochure design services and promotional materials, annual report designs, marketing collateral design, brand design, environmental design, designs signage, and social media designs. Get in touch and let’s talk about your project!
What information do you need from us to start our annual report design?
Materials that we find helpful are your latest report, raw content or outlines, brand information, and ideas or goals—but if you have none of this, that’s okay. In the discovery process, we’ll talk about your project needs and available assets. For example, many of our partners utilize our brand development and copywriting services as an add-on to their annual report design process.
Do I need to provide the copy and images for my brochure?
While many clients provide their own text and high-resolution photos, A Great Idea offers full-service solutions. We can assist with professional copywriting, stock image curation, or custom photography to ensure your brochure is cohesive and persuasive. For the best print results, we recommend using images with at least 300 DPI (dots per inch).
Do you do print and digital or interactive annual reports?
We design for all formats but regularly produce print-ready files, digital-first layouts, accessible PDFs, or fully interactive web-based reports. If you need printing, we can help you coordinate with a printer and ensure your annual report file is ready for that process.
Can you print materials?
While we don’t do in-house printing, we can help you get your materials printed! This includes having final printed materials sent to you or printed near you for pickup. In the design process, we ensure your files are prepared to be sent to printers by ensuring correct sizing, bleeds, and file packaging.
