From corporate and professional to whimsical and fun, multi-page proposals are best designed to speak directly to the brand, using their existing tone and personality.
This example embodies a travel-related company that has been around for a while but is looking to grow their services and offerings with technological advances in the industry. By using more traditional fonts and imagery, paired with contemporary layouts, we were able to bring forth a piece that is subtly in line with the brand today and where they hope to be tomorrow.
There is nothing more abhorred than a boring, multi-bulleted PowerPoint presentation. Even if what you are saying is incredibly revolutionary and inspirational, if your visuals don’t match your content, your message falls flat (and this happens all too often!). A visually compelling and well-designed presentation can make all the difference in audience engagement.
Gone are the days of 100+ slides of boring bullet points supported by charts and tables. Clients want a quick, hard-hitting and visually appealing way to digest important information. Even if the deliverable is presented in the traditionally dull PowerPoint format, we see no reason why it can't be as beautiful as it is informative.
COMBINING CUSTOM + SYNDICATED RESEARCH
Big data is everywhere and sometimes it makes sense to combine a bunch of syndicated and custom research into one report. In these cases, we will create a unifying visual theme to bring findings from various sources seamlessly together.
A WORD ON TRACKERS
Designing a report that stays fresh and shows the same metrics of information over time can be tricky. Taking the time to nail the design (e.g., thinking through things like the color palette and what each hue represents, chart types to include in order to create variance, etc.) at the start makes populating the report super-efficient for subsequent iterations. Bring us in for a consultation at the beginning of your reporting framework to set your trackers up for success!
Understanding consumers is what marketing research is all about. Having a deliverable that brings the data to life and makes the information "human" is key!
A Journey Map is just that - a process by which someone gets from point A to point B. It often involves multiple steps and, depending on the subject matter, can be very emotional. These maps can be structured as an overview of multiple people involved along the way or as a deeper dive into each individual experience.
Like infographics, scorecards and one pagers pack a lot of information into a condensed format.
These can be formatted as stand-alone deliverables or part of a longer multi-page report.
Sometimes using digital technology to create an interactive user-experience is important. Other times, a nice printed piece is necessary. In either case, deliverables are designed with the user in mind. Additionally, our existing relationships with print houses can take the burden off of you managing the back end part of the process, and we will ensure your project gets completed accurately and on time.
PRINTED BOOKLET
Data and insights or even proposals can easily be presented in a sleek printed booklet format. This deliverable definitely makes an impact and can be a piece that lives on within an organization for years to come.
DIGITAL MAGAZINE
Digital catalogs can reach a broader audience and reduce printing costs. Plus, the page turning feature is fun to experience online! Want to try yourself? Click the link to experience this catalog in full!

Infographics are undoubtedly all the rage when it comes to information design. Whether you are using a stand-alone, large-format piece or a slide included in a multi-page report, being able to capture a lot of data in a single snapshot allows for a complex story to be told very quickly.
In addition to telling a complete story in a concise format, a well-designed infographic is proven to be more engaging, and the information contained is better retained by the viewer.
It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. Especially when you're trying to communicate a complex concept. There is no better way to bring your ideas to life than to visualize them.
Parker Clay is a lifestyle brand committed to empowering women in Ethiopia through the purchase of their goods. We supported the cause by designing this imagery for their website.
In addition to taking the design completely off your hands, we are also willing to work alongside your team to train the them in fundamental design concepts and theories (all in laymen’s terms, of course!), tips and tricks for using PowerPoint for design, etc. We can also “cleanup” any work that has been created and just needs a designer’s touch added and carried throughout.
DOCUMENT REFRESH
You may have some existing documents that serve their purpose, but just need a little refresh in terms of their design or to better incorporate your brand’s visual identity. No job is too small – we will find a way to enhance even the most basic or bland document to better suit your needs.
NON-DESIGNER DESIGN TRAININGS
We also offer a series of design trainings for non-designers. Topics include basic design elements (color, typography, etc.) to more complex design theories and principles of design. All trainings are communicated in a way that everyone can understand, regardless of their design background (or lack thereof). Each presentation is coupled with a practical application to link the learnings to the actual work that they do at your company.
Taking the trainings a step further, these workshops get members of your team at all levels involved, having fun, and flexing the design muscles they may not have known they had! We have a whole curriculum of activities in our arsenal, from creating your own color wheels to designing your own custom fonts – the design opportunities are endless!
Sometimes you need a little extra pizzazz to get your foot in the door. Having a well-designed one-page resume or multi-page job proposal goes a long way in helping you get noticed and stand out from the competition.
