Engaging, strategic, and professionally designed annual reports that make an impact. An annual report is more than a year in review—it’s a powerful tool to share your mission, highlight achievements, and strengthen your brand. For nonprofits, public institutions, and academic teams, it’s an essential way to build trust and communicate value. At Universe, we design custom reports that are clear, accessible, and visually compelling—whether you need a short impact summary or a full, detailed publication.

Full layout design in Adobe InDesign
Clear hierarchy, branded typography, and consistent formatting
Custom charts, infographics, and data visualization
Accessible PDF formatting (AODA-compliant, tagged, screen-reader friendly)
