Corporate annual report design, start to finish

An annual report has to work for shareholders, the board and the ASX at the same time. We design the full document: page layout, typography, charts and tables, image placement and the cover, built around your existing brand.

You supply the text and the financial statements. We turn them into a report that reads clearly in print and on screen, with the technical sections held to the same standard as the rest.

Good corporate report design starts with structure. Readers should find the operating highlights, the project updates and the financials without hunting for them, and every chart should make one point clearly.

The maps and figures inside your report

This is where a resources company's annual report becomes specialist work. Location maps, geological maps, cross sections, stratigraphic columns and project diagrams need to be accurate as well as clear.

Danica has drawn more than 500 geological figures since 2014, for geoscientists and for readers with no technical background. The figures in your report are drawn by the same designer who lays out the report, so the technical pages match the rest of the document.

Annual report cover design

The cover is the first page shareholders see, and often the image reused across investor communications for the year. We design covers that carry your brand and, where it suits the company, feature a technical image drawn from your own project figures.

Sustainability and ESG report design

Sustainability and ESG reports carry the same expectations as an annual report: clear structure, accurate charts and a design that matches your brand. We design them as standalone reports or as a section within your annual report, with the maps and figures drawn in-house.

Frequently asked questions

How much does annual report design cost?

Every annual report is quoted individually. Send the approximate page count, the number of maps and figures, and your deadline, and we will reply with a quote.

Can you draw the geological maps and figures in our report?

Yes. Geological and topographical maps, cross sections, well correlations, stratigraphic columns, diagrams and charts are drawn in-house, by the same designer who lays out the report.

What files will we receive?

A print-ready PDF, high-resolution images, editable vector files, and SHP or TAB files where your geologists need the maps in ArcGIS or MapInfo. Files can be sized for ASX or journal submission.

Do you work with companies outside Perth?

Yes. We are based in Perth, WA, and work remotely with companies across Australia and internationally.

Will our project details stay confidential?
