Brief: Design the yearly Annual Report based on previous designs, but create something distinct that reflects the Department's financial year. The report incorporated both new and updated infographics, providing a fresh look compared to previous reports I had worked on.
For this project, I collaborated with a professional photographer to capture suitable imagery for the report. Additionally, I conducted a separate site visit to obtain a different front cover image, ensuring the report visually represented the Department's activities and achievements.
Working on the Annual Report involved coordinating with a wide range of stakeholders, including communications, media, finance, planning, ministerials, photographers, and data teams. Managing these diverse inputs was challenging, particularly as numerous changes often occurred even at the design stage. One significant challenge arose a week before printing when we needed a new cover image. I quickly organised a team for a photoshoot while ensuring the report's content was finalised.
This was the fourth Annual Report I worked on for Corrections, and it stands out as one of my proudest achievements. The report showcased my growth as a designer and my ability to handle complex projects with tight deadlines and multiple stakeholders.
