An aerial photograph of boats anchors the cover. The title sits within a typographic hierarchy that distinguishes the institution, the subject and the edition, allowing the image to retain its presence.

A companion to the financial report

The cover design and printed presentation share a visual system with the business and financial report. Each publication has its own emphasis: the impact report opens with the places behind the work, while the financial report brings the institution’s annual activity and figures together.

The design sits alongside research, impact figures and investment analysis supplied by the publication’s institutional contributors.
