The challenge
RELX Annual Report & Accounts 2025 was a complex 200+ page corporate publication produced to demanding deadlines and subject to multiple rounds of stakeholder review.
Working from the Design Director’s initial creative concepts, typographic specifications, grid systems and brand guidelines, the challenge was to transform approved design layouts into a fully artworked annual report while maintaining consistency across hundreds of pages of editorial, financial and corporate content.
The project required the accurate handling of large volumes of text, tables, charts, graphs and imagery, while accommodating ongoing amendments from directors, auditors and client stakeholders throughout the review process. Tight approval schedules and late-stage revisions meant accuracy, attention to detail and efficient workflow management were essential throughout production.

Production process
Planning
A structured approval workflow was set up to manage large volumes of content and multiple stakeholder reviews — master pages, grids, corporate typography and colour systems applied for consistency across 200+ pages.
Production
The full report was built and maintained in Adobe InDesign, with all charts and data visualisations created in Adobe Illustrator from supplied financial and corporate data. A first draft was uploaded to CtrlPrint, followed by typically four formal proof stages and a final sign-off PDF, managing amendments from directors and auditors throughout.
Delivery
High-resolution imagery was retouched and colour-balanced, brand colours checked against corporate guidelines, and final files prepared for both print and digital — including a tagged accessible interactive PDF and an online-optimised interactive edition.
The result
Delivered a fully artworked 200+ page Annual Report & Accounts for RELX, including commercial print production files, a tagged accessible interactive PDF for download, and a second interactive PDF optimised for online viewing.
The project was delivered through multiple stakeholder review cycles, maintaining consistency across typography, data visualisation, imagery and corporate brand standards while meeting demanding production schedules and final approval deadlines.
