With another impressive year under their belt, Cardiff Capital Region approached us to design and print an annual report to document their achievements from the past year. It was important that the report was engaging, easy to digest, and had that keepsake quality that a lot of reports lack.
We ensured the report stayed on-brand with the use of their recognisable colour palette and typography. To keep it fresh for the reader, we created a flexible grid system enabling us to design varied but consistent layouts across spreads. It’s always easy to keep track of where you are in the document with handy colour-coded chapter markers on the edge of each page.
Infographics that pop
We love the challenge of being able to take data and statistics and transform them into something special! We crafted a series of bespoke infographics to entice readers and give their statistics the wow-factor they deserve.
Karolo have worked with Cardiff Capital Region for many years now as our digital supplier and sole graphic designer and the work they have done for our annual reports ranks as among their best output for us. The briefing process with Karolo is comprehensive and effective and we operate as a real partnership, exchanging themes and practical approaches. Karolo have also taken care of the print side – our printed Annual Reports are ‘tilt-and-turn’, with English and Welsh in the same publication. I have no hesitation in recommending Karolo for reports and key publications.
Printed perfection
When it came to fine details, we didn’t just stop at the design. The annual report was printed with a gorgeous soft touch cover and silk interior pages that ooze quality and wouldn’t look out of place on a magazine stand. We can’t wait to get started on the next one!
