The next steps included the creation of style guides and a marketing campaign. I collaborated with project management to ensure fulfillment of the client brief. While working on annual reports, I was involved in the entire process from the initial brief to the press check including creating concepts, interfacing with the client, designing information graphics and working with photographers & illustrators on the final product. The massive scope of my involvement with the creation of annual reports was one of the most rewarding parts of my time at Ozone.
