Annual Report Design Annual and sustainability report design in Manama, Bahrain
Bahrain’s banks, listed companies and public bodies publish reports that are read across the Gulf and beyond. We design and edit them in Arabic and English so the year reads clearly in both, while your teams own and approve every figure.
For banks and financial firms, listed and family companies, government bodies, schools and charities in Manama and across Bahrain.
Dense with figures, light on meaning.
Reports from financial firms carry long tables, risk sections and governance pages that most readers skim. When the narrative is thin and the layout repeats the same page again and again, readers miss what actually changed during the year.
We give the report a clear spine: what the year meant, the few indicators that show it, and section openers that guide readers to the detail. The financial statements stay exactly as your finance team and auditors approve them; we set them consistently and design everything around them, in Arabic and English.
What Bahraini organisations publish
- Bank and financial annual reports

What you get
You get a storyline and page plan first, both editions in one design system, charts built from approved figures, and print, PDF and web files.
Report Structure
A page plan and a storyline for the year: what the reader should take away, which sections carry it, and where the figures sit.
Editing & Writing Support
Editing of the chairman’s and chief executive’s messages and the narrative sections, plus writing support where drafts are thin. You approve every text.
Cover & Layout Design
A cover and a layout system in your brand: section dividers, text pages, case stories and data pages that hold together across the whole report.
Charts & Infographics
Your figures and performance indicators shown as charts, tables and infographics. Your team supplies and approves every number; we present it.
Arabic & English Editions
An Arabic edition set right to left and an English edition in the same design, with tables and charts that read correctly in each direction.
Print, PDF & Web Files
Press files checked with your printer, a light PDF with bookmarks and links, and pages or images for the web when the report goes online.
Year end coming, and the report is still a folder of drafts?
Send last year’s report and your timeline. We reply with questions and a scoped quote.
How it works
Step 1: Brief
Who this year’s report is for, the sections and any reporting framework you follow, last year’s report, and who approves the content and the figures.
Step 2: Structure
We propose the page plan, the storyline and the cover direction, and agree a schedule that allows for late audited figures.
Step 3: Design
The template and narrative pages first, then the figures placed once your team signs them off. One combined set of comments per round.
Step 4: Hand over
Final proofs approved by you, press files, the PDF and web assets, and the open files for next year.

Questions
How much does annual report design cost in Bahrain?
It depends on the scope: pages, editing support, charts, Arabic and English editions, print and digital versions and the timeline. Send last year’s report and we quote a fixed scope.
Who is responsible for the figures and statements?
Your organisation. Your finance team and auditors supply and approve them; we typeset and design them without changing a figure, and nothing is printed without your written approval.
Can you set long financial tables in Arabic and English?
Yes. We build table styles for both directions so figures align and read correctly, and we compare them with the approved source file before every proof.
Do you design sustainability reports?
Yes. Your team or adviser maps the content to any framework you use; we structure and design it clearly. We do not assess or assure the data.
Can you edit the narrative sections?
Yes. We edit leadership messages and section introductions into one clear voice, and write short stories from the year based on your input. Your team approves every text.
Is a ready template enough?
For a short summary, perhaps. A bank or public body report goes to boards, shareholders and regulators across the region; the structure, the editing and correct bilingual tables decide how it reads.
How do you handle the schedule?
Template, cover and narrative pages first, figures placed once approved. The proposal sets dates back from your publishing deadline.
Where are you based?
We have a studio in Manama. Most of the work runs on video calls, email and secure file sharing, which suits review rounds with several approvers.
Tell us about this year’s report.
A short brief is enough to start: the type of report, the expected length, the languages, print or digital, and the date it must be published. We reply with questions and a fixed scope quote.
