Facts & Figures
Charting success!
Everything we do is about presenting information in the most interesting way possible – and nowhere is that more important than when we're dealing with facts & figures.
Whether it's an Annual Report, a detailed statistical analysis or a financial proposal such as a tender – presenting the figures in a way that is easy to follow is essential. Confident, clear design can help make the figures easier to read – but without imposing a style that comes between the viewer and the numbers.
HOW WE DID IT:
Colliers CRE Reports & Tenders
The Brief
Colliers CRE is one of the UK's top ten real estate advisory organisations, and this requires a lot of documents and financial reports. We were asked to produce interim reports on a number of projects, and to prepare tender documents for some of the larger projects the company was bidding for.
Our Solution
Simple clarity was the key for the financial reports – allowing the numbers to stand for themselves, but helping the viewer to filter through the detail and better understand the underlying information behind the numbers.
For the tenders, maximum flexibility is required, with the proposal being honed and polished right up until the final deadline. To avoid getting in the way of this, we divide the process into key parts and treat each part differently.
A simple but effective ring-binder is used for the tender, with title pages and dividers all agreed and printed well in advance to provide a professional shell to hold all the disparate parts. Along with this, where required, CDs and cases are prepared so electronic versions can be supplied in the same professional style.
For the content pages, we simply took the Word documents and tidied up the content once everything was settled – dropping the printed pages into the pre-prepared folders ready for submission. Word templates that help the client structure and format the document as they work on it can help ease this process, maximising valuable time in a highly-pressured process, and ultimately saving cost and minimising the risk of missed deadlines.
