2018 Annual Report
The Up Center
AWARD RECOGNITIONS
The Energy of Action
In evolving the annual report from previous years, collaboration with The Up Center’s team to generate a document that brought positivity, freshness, and future-forward feeling was imperative while also making it clear that donors and supporters are the lifeblood of the organization.
Smart Design
The final produced report captured The Up Center’s story of success while also sticking to a solid 8-pages of print along with a gatefold that gave them additional space to highlight statistics and list out their entire donor pool.
What is a content strategy agency?
A content strategy agency like A Great Idea is a group of people who understand the technical strategy, timing, and creative processes behind powerful content that engages your followers, connects with your community, and grows your audience—both digitally and in real life.
Do you do print and digital or interactive annual reports?
We design for all formats but regularly produce print-ready files, digital-first layouts, accessible PDFs, or fully interactive web-based reports. If you need printing, we can help you coordinate with a printer and ensure your annual report file is ready for that process.
Is there a difference between print and digital design?
Put simply, print design is collateral design, meant for physical assets, while digital design is for electronic dissemination. Beyond that, there are differences in the designs we create for each channel. Considerations like text size, colors, and readability vary across formats.
What’s the difference between content strategy and content creation?
Content strategy is a high-level plan that defines the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your content. This helps guide the content creation process, meaning when you begin writing or designing your content, you understand how to do it more impactfully.
Can you print materials?
While we don’t do in-house printing, we can help you get your materials printed! This includes having final printed materials sent to you or printed near you for pickup. In the design process, we ensure your files are prepared to be sent to printers by ensuring correct sizing, bleeds, and file packaging.
