Corporate Reports: Behind the scenes

About this video

Description

Corporate reports bring together complex information, strategic priorities and a wide range of stakeholders. But what does it take to turn all of that content into a clear, engaging and cohesive publication?

This webinar takes you behind the scenes of two corporate reports, exploring the design process from initial brief through to final publication. Through two real-world projects, presenters will share the decisions, creative considerations, collaboration and production processes involved in bringing each report to life.

Takeaways

• Coordinate complex content and input from multiple stakeholders into one cohesive publication

• Navigate changing information and data throughout the design and production process

• Consider accessibility as part of the report design and production process

• Approach collaboration and decision-making when working with internal teams and clients

• Identify opportunities to improve the process for future reporting projects

• Particularly relevant for in-house designers, studio owners and freelancers working on annual, sustainability and ESG reports.

Fusion Design Group Inc.

I’ve been with Fusion since 2005 — long enough to see the industry change, clients evolve, and our small-but-mighty studio grow in both talent and ambition. I started as a summer student answering phones and now lead the creative team as Creative Director. Along the way, I’ve worn just about every hat: designer, illustrator, photographer, strategist, project wrangler, and occasional voice of reason. My roots are in graphic design — identity, layout, typography, and storytelling — and I’m still deeply involved in the creative work every day. My focus these days is helping our team do their best work, guiding clients toward smart solutions, and ensuring every project we touch is thoughtful, effective, and beautifully executed. I’m driven by a belief that design should do more than look good — it should work.
