Capturing a Year of Achievement in a Concise Format

The challenge was to meaningfully showcase the work of teachers and students, distilling a year of achievements, growth, and milestones into a concise format that still carried a powerful message to supporters.

Chicago Collegiate is a tuition-free charter school serving students in grades 5 through 12 on Chicago’s far South Side, with a 100% graduation rate and a 100% college acceptance rate.

Annual Report Design and Donor Collateral

Trillion communicated the school’s accomplishments in a compact, compelling package that included a letter, remittance envelope, and outer envelope for a cohesive donor experience. The design drew directly from the school’s brand identity, carrying its signature blue and green colors and transforming the hexagon from its logo into a distinctive bracket motif used to frame photography on the cover and throughout the report.

The clean, modern, highly legible layout let the stories and achievements take center stage, while financials and a donor list provided transparency and recognition.
