Meet your designer

Hi, I'm Jen Clark. I design annual reports.

I lead every annual report project from brief to lodgement, including the data visualisation, accessible PDF, print production and ESG disclosure sections. Shaped, reviewed and signed off by me. A trusted extended team of writers, illustrators, data-viz specialists, accessible-PDF taggers and print producers joins for production under my direction. So you get studio depth with a single point of contact.

I have 25 years experience as a graphic designer and creative director, founding the studio formally in 2011 after years across agency and in-house design teams. Today Annual Report Designers is trusted by Australian boards, NFPs and listed companies for annual, sustainability and impact reports.

"I have never missed a lodgement deadline. That is not luck. It is the production system we have built over 120+ reports since 2011. The brief starts with your date, and everything works backwards from there."by Jen Clark, Founder & Creative Director

FAQ

Cooperatives questions.

Cost, timeline, accessibility, NDAs.

All questions
How long does an annual report take to design?
A standard annual report runs 6 to 10 weeks from kick off to final artwork. Reports with sustainability sections or microsite components run 10 to 14 weeks. Tell us your board approval and lodgement dates and we will work backwards from there.
How much does an annual report cost in Australia?
Most projects sit between AUD $12,000 and $45,000. The driver is page count, format, and how much original data visualisation you need. ASX listed reports usually run $18,000 to $35,000. See the full pricing bands.
Do you work with companies outside Melbourne?
Yes. We are based in Victoria and deliver reports to clients in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. Most of the project runs over video, file sharing and shared review tools.
Can you make our report WCAG accessible?
Yes. We deliver tagged accessible PDFs and HTML reports that meet WCAG 2.1 AA. This is a hard requirement for federal and state government reports under the PGPA Act and Department of Finance guidance, and increasingly expected by listed companies.
Do you handle print management?
Yes. We run prepress, print procurement, paper stock selection, finishing and mailing house delivery. You also have the option to take press ready files to your existing supplier.
What does a cooperatives report typically cost?
Most cooperatives reports land in the $10,000–$26,000 band depending on page count, format and the volume of original data visualisation. We confirm a fixed fee in writing after a 20-minute scoping call. See full pricing.
