Annual Reports
Your annual report tells the story of your year — the milestones, metrics, and main events that summarize the past 12 months at your company. Each year brings something special, so why not have an annual report that mirrors that?
Visual content makes your most important moments engaging and memorable. When others opt for a plain PDF, you can stand out with beautiful, custom design that makes your company (and your accomplishments) shine.
Your annual report can take just about any shape or format and touch on several themes or aspects of your business — all the stuff that makes you proud to be part of the organization. It might be geared toward a variety of external and internal audiences, from stakeholders to employees to the public. Your annual report is as unique as your company — or at least, it should be.
You might call it an annual report, impact report, yearly progress report, year-in-review, “that PDF thing with the charts,” or something else — but when it comes to telling the story of your year with visuals, Lemonly has your back.
Like the examples above, annual reports come in lots of different formats, from classic, multi-page reports to animated infographics, interactive microsites, or even microcontent series. It’s the content that counts, not the form factor. In any format, visuals like illustrations, photography, data visualizations, and custom graphics make your story exciting, memorable, and easy to understand.
Polished visuals and thoughtful design make your year’s most important moments and metrics shine. Charts, illustrations, photography, and custom graphics turn your story from boring to brilliant.
And even if a PDF is the best format for your annual report, it doesn’t have to be boring. With the power of visuals, you’ll impress stakeholders, explain your impact, and show off your brand. Turn your plain document into a sleek visual feast that’s beautiful in print and on screen. Which are people more likely to read and remember? Lemonly can help you figure out the best format to tell your story based on your planned themes, audience, and publishing methods.

Our tried-and-true report design process
Lemonly's proven process ensures a sweet experience at every stage. We take your raw ingredients — your data, outline, brand identity, and vision — and turn those lemons into lemonade with clarity and delight at every step.
Content
It all starts with content. Whether you're starting from raw data, a rough outline, or a solid first draft, our content experts will craft your message with personality and polish.
Wireframe & Moodboard
The wireframe is a grayscale blueprint of your report’s layout, showing how we'll arrange the copy and visuals to nail the page layout before diving into full design. No color, graphics, or icons here — it’s all about structure.
The moodboard establishes your report’s look and feel, showcasing the color palette, typography, illustration style, visual inspiration, and your brand guidelines.
Design
Now it’s time to bring your report to life! In the design phase, we bring together the approved copy and layout from the wireframe with the creative elements from the moodboard to create a fully designed, bespoke report.
Delivery
And just like that, we’re all done! After we get the thumbs-up from your team, we’ll package up the final files for your project and send ‘em over, ready to publish and promote. Cue the fireworks!
