INTO: Annual Reports
INTO brings the global National Trust family together to share knowledge and tools for the protection of cultural and natural heritage. Their programmes and projects facilitate collaboration in the international heritage sector.
The brief:
To create a series of reports that felt informative and professional, while remaining visually engaging and approachable for a broad readership.
The audience:
The audience included members, stakeholders and partners, ranging from highly engaged readers to those likely to browse selectively through the documents.
The challenges:
-
Presenting a large amount of text-heavy content without overwhelming the reader
-
Maintaining visual consistency across varied subject matter and contributors
-
Creating clear hierarchy and navigation
-
Keeping readers engaged across both narrative as well as data-led sections
The solution:
Working through these reports took some problem-solving. The volume of content meant I needed to find a way to organise complex data into navigable sections while establishing clear typographic hierarchies that allowed titles and body text to each do their job. I used colour-coded sections, graphic elements and infographics to help readers orientate themselves and make the data more digestible, and wove pull quotes throughout to break up the denser text.
The result:
The final publications successfully balanced strategic reporting with accessible storytelling, creating documents that were informative and engaging for broad professional audiences.
