5 Quick Annual Report Writing & Design Tips for 2021

While the premium templates mentioned in this article have professional designs that'll work well for your next annual report, they may still need customizing to fit your report's exact needs. Below are five modern design tips for your next annual report: 

1. Included Layered Page Layouts

Business TemplateBusiness TemplateBusiness Template
This premium template features a layered design for a more professional look.

Contemporary designs give you a sense of three dimensionality to make the design seem more appealing. The best way to create this three dimensional look is to have layered page layouts. By adding in graphics, images, shapes, and color overlays, to your pages, you can create a modern looking page layout that your readers will enjoy.

2. Keep Your Color Palette Simple

It can be tempting to add many different colors to your annual report to create a flashy looking design. This will only make your design seem unprofessional and cluttered. By choosing two to three different colors in your color palette for the template, your readers will have a much easier time reading your report.

3. Provide Important Company Information First

While the actual details are the most important part of your document, providing a bit of information about your company and how it operates is a must. This helps prime the reader for the details and helps them get a better understanding of your company rather than throwing a bunch of numbers at them.

This premium template features a section for you to include information about the company at the beginning of the proposal. Easily change it to create an annual report.

4. Include Icons

Icons, Icons, Icons. Icons are essential to any report as they add subtle interest. Don't overdo it here. Just adding in a few icons here and there will be more than enough. Also, make sure that the icons contextually fit the text and page that they're on.

5. Include Space

Modern designs leave plenty of room between the different elements on each page. Your annual report should do the same as well to capitalize on this modern look. To do this, break up long paragraphs and use headings where necessary to make the report more appealing.
