So...
A major company is giving out theese monthly reports (some benchmarking program) and do you know what it is full of?...Diagrams.
I f***in hate it.
What app do you use when making stuff like that look good? Got any samples of any nice ones?
So far i´ve made some sketches in illustrator (
).I´m not pleased with the look of them but I dont want them to be too flat.
Ideas are soooo welcome!

Don't over egg the cake fella, they look a bit elaborate, thing with corporate reporting is telling things how they are, keep it simple use colour to breathe life into them, not effects, they are never going to be anything other than flat!

Thing is:
They think their old ones are far too boring (and so do I... Man you should see them)As for my self; I dont even like bars and stuff... Numbers work fine for me. I really always keep stuff like this really simple.
BUT.
I´ve seen some really nice ones with a bit more depht in them. But now I cant seem to find any :(/Rob

reports are boring...
so try to surprise them with something creative..
put a small illustration in the right bottom corner of the book, and play boring with the rest of the graphic...
you are creating a flip book mate!
I can imagine those people around the big table in the meeting... the ceo is talking seriously about the profit of the company and they dont give a shit... they are just flipping pages to see that tiny little girl gettin naked on the pages of report...
