Annual reports can be fun projects to work on and I hope every designer gets a chance to do one during his or her career. If you are lucky, you can work on one that has a decent budget, great copy and solid message. Getting two out of three isn't bad either.

 

The nursing department at Fox Chase Cancer Center needed an annual report for their Magnet status designation, a pretty big deal in the healthcare field. Their idea was to section off the report and address Magnet's criteria one by one. They wanted the theme to be Connection All The Pieces, with puzzle pieces throughout the document.

 

Knowing that the book would be content heavy to address all of Magnet's needs, I kept the design simple and used the Fox Chase branding at the time. The nursing department was very happy with the final document, having saved them thousands of dollars doing the job in-house and under budget.
