What makes a good annual report design?
The best annual report designs make the story of the year easy to follow: a strong cover, a clear structure, and numbers turned into charts and big figures that people actually read.
- A memorable cover: one bold image or color and the year, set large.
- Consistent brand style: the same colors, fonts and photo treatment on every page.
- Visual data: key numbers as big figures, charts and infographics, not just tables.
- Clear sections: divider pages or color-coded headings so readers can jump to what they need.
- Real people: team and customer photos make the report feel human, not just financial.

What to include in an annual report
| Section | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| Cover and contents | Company name, year, a strong image, and a table of contents. |
| Letter from the CEO or chair | A one-page summary of the year in a personal voice. |
| About the company | Mission, vision, values and what the company does. |
| Highlights of the year | Key achievements and numbers as big figures or icons. |
| Business review | Results by product, region or department, with charts. |
| Financial statements | Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow, as clear tables. |
| Team and governance | Leadership, board and team photos. |
| Outlook | Goals and plans for next year. |
| Back cover | Address, website and contact details. |
Not every company needs every section: a small business or nonprofit can combine the review and highlights into a few pages. For a document about the company itself rather than the year, see our company profile templates.
How to lay out an annual report
- Start with a template that already has a cover, section dividers and data pages.
- Write first, then design: collect the CEO letter, numbers and photos before laying out pages.
- Give each section a divider with a big title or number so the report is easy to navigate.
- Turn numbers into visuals: one big figure per key result, then a chart for the detail.
- Keep body text readable: two columns, a calm font and enough white space.
- Export twice: a print PDF with bleed and a smaller PDF for your website and email.
