If you know me as a designer you probably know that my favorite things to design are invitations and annual reports. I've been designing the Noble Foundation annual report, every year, since I started my career as a designer 6 years ago - and every year it is the project I am most proud of. When I received my samples in the mail this year it was like Christmas and I pretty much cried when I held this report in my hands. I know, I'm a total dork about what I do.



















My favorite part to design is always the financials. And for the past couple of years I've used a contrasting paper in this section - I think it elevates that entire section which can often come across in other reports as mundane and boring. The paper I used here is a French Speckletone in True White for the cover and financials and an uncoated Finch stock for the interior.

Another reason I love working on this report so much is that I get to use amazing paper and metallic ink throughout the whole report. The Noble Foundation also has a really talented in-house photographer - and good photos always make my job so much easier.

And finally, some great news - this report has received a silver in the non-profit ($100 million - $1 billion) category of an international annual report competition held by LACP - this makes me so proud of the guys I work with over at the Noble Foundation. They pour their talent and hard work into this project every year and I'm so lucky I get to bring it to life for them.
