Eye-catching fonts, engaging photos and plenty of white space draw the reader in to these web pages. Using teaser copy with a "read more" box to click is clever and reader-friendly. Upbeat tone, simple navigation. Surpassing goals is a wonderful thing, and this publication celebrates that.

An animated annual report! What fun to see the numbers turn over and the little robot march into place. Clean, crisp design, with a color palette that speaks "kids.” Upbeat copy with lovely parent testimonials. Not too short, not too long — just right.

This piece has a nice mixture of providing fundraising numbers and highlights on students, faculty, alumni, donors, and facilities. The layout design makes it easy to read through.
An extremely comprehensive report (possibly even too comprehensive?). But very well composed, super photography, and great student profiles. Particularly liked the inclusion of the contribution that support staff make and recognition of their value to the school.
Weighing in at over 100 pages, this report needed verve and good design to hold interest. Hugely enthusiastic profiles of the Culminating Experience for Seniors were fascinating.
