PROJECT OVERVIEW
Capturing Excellence in a Limited Space
The challenge of this annual report was to meaningfully showcase the amazing work of the teachers and students, distilling a year of achievements, growth, and milestones into a concise format that carries a powerful message.
As a tuition-free charter school serving students in grades 5 through 12 on Chicago’s far South Side, Chicago Collegiate maintains a 100% graduation rate and a 100% college acceptance rate, reflecting its commitment to student success and opportunity.
Clear, Branded Story of Achievement and Impact
Trillion communicated the school’s accomplishments in a compact and compelling format, thoughtfully creating a package that included a letter, remittance envelope, and outer envelope as part of a cohesive donor experience.
The design draws directly from the school’s brand identity, incorporating signature blue and green colors and transforming the hexagon from the logo into a distinctive bracket motif. This bracket becomes a unifying visual element, framing photography on the cover and throughout the report to reinforce continuity and recognition.
Trillion’s clean, modern, and highly legible layout allows the stories and achievements to take center stage, while the financials and a donor list provide transparency and recognition.
