The Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board (SMMIB) oversees the largest grant funding programme in the Church of England. I partnered up with Emily Gorham recently to produce their Annual Review for 2025 which shows the impact, all over the country, of their investments.
Emily established a strong and engaging look and feel for this piece of work and then I took over, laying out the content over 40 pages with clear hierarchy, icons, maps and links throughout. Their wonderful photos featured prominently as they bring the content to life and help you to really ‘see’ the people that have benefited from the SMMIB funding.
As well as the print and digital report I also designed a LinkedIn Carousel which was used to launch the report.
“Emily and Jo were the perfect extension to my team for my annual report. They managed to translate complex, technical and often text-heavy content into an engaging design, and were meticulous and timely in making changes during iterations. They struck a perfect balance between staying close to brand guidelines and using creative flair to take it somewhere new. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any organisation seeking graphic design.”
