FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions before you begin working on an annual report or an activity report.
Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?
Yes. We can work within the guidelines of an existing style guide or propose a tailored graphic design direction when more creative freedom is available.
Could you provide us with a copy of our report from last year?
Yes. The previous report often serves as an excellent foundation for assessing volume, understanding the structure, and identifying areas for improvement.
Can you create the charts and infographics?
Yes. We can present your data in the form of charts, tables, or infographics tailored to the visual style of the report.
Can you search for images and illustrations?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can search for existing images, suggest visual concepts, or create illustrations.
Do you also handle printing?

How much time should be set aside to prepare an annual report?
The turnaround time depends primarily on the number of pages, the complexity of the document, the availability of content, and the number of rounds of revisions. We establish a timeline tailored to the project from the outset.
What information do we need to provide to receive an estimate?
Ideally, your previous report, the estimated number of pages, your style guide, and some information about the content and timeline. Even if some details are still incomplete, we can usually provide an initial estimate.
