ANNUAL REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT:
The goal of this project was to create an annual report that would capture the whole company's style, message, and guidelines that I have been creating for it this whole time. We had to create a front cover with the year, balance sheets, president's message, graphs, and company message.
This was a fun project but it ate up my time. I really like the colors and style I did for it. I'm proud of my work.
RESEARCH & BRAINSTORMING
RESEARCH:
I should have included some of the other past student's work for my research since those are what I mostly looked to for what kind of annual report I should do. The examples I gathered all had nice balance and formatting, even if they looked basic to me. I liked how they treated the year and their page layouts.
SKETCHES & DOODLES
SKETCHES:
I feel like these sketches helped me a lot, especially for the annual report cover. For the other pages, I just wanted to lay out what goes on what. I should have refined the company message page to add where a headline would go, but other than that this was ok.
B&W PROGRESSIONS
PROGRESSIONS:
I had a lot of fun ideas for this project so it's nice to look back at the progressions. I had some trouble figuring out the graph page but my classmates helped me choose a bar graph instead. The "Our Message" page also gave me a hard time since I knew I wanted white space, but I was told to include more color and pictures, which I'm glad I did.
COLOR PROGRESSIONS
COLOR PROGRESSIONS:
I didn't do a whole lot of color progressions, just because the class and I were set on a couple colors for different areas of the annual report, but I still tried some.
