Is your report ready to shine?

If you’re about to hand a report over to a designer (or you’re thinking about it), let’s make sure you’re not caught in a last-minute scramble. I’ve pulled together a super-handy, totally free checklist so you can get prepped and set your project up for smooth sailing.

Why bother with prep?

Trust me, the magic only happens when the right ingredients are in place. A well-designed report doesn’t just look good, it’s the secret sauce for:

• Getting your research seen (hello, wider audience!)

• Making policy-makers and funders actually pay attention

• Turning “just another PDF” into something people want to read

• Cutting the faff (no more chaotic email chains or panicked file hunts)

What’s inside?

This quick checklist covers:

• The must-have files and assets your designer needs

• How to organise your content, so nothing gets lost

• Simple steps to dodge delays and keep things moving

• My top tips for making your report look its best (even if you’re not a designer!)
