Enter a GDUSA competition to have your work showcased across Projects, Firms, and Designers.

Best of the Year
The annual and corporate reports that won a GDUSA award in 2016, each with the firm and the designers credited.
71 award-winning projects
The annual report is the one document a company must produce every year and the one most readers put down after page two, so the design decides whether the year gets read. The designer gives the chairman's letter and the financials one hierarchy a reader can follow, then art-directs the photography and decides what print and screen should each do. The reports that win make the numbers legible and the mission visible on the same spread. Ideas On Purpose has won 30 times with that discipline, and Mote Marine Laboratory's in-house 2025 report took a full page for turning a research budget into a book people would open. The best annual report designers in the country are on this page. Open any report to page through it and read what made it work.
