Raw Material Annual Reviews 2015-18
Having worked with Raw Materials since 2012, Oakshed was excited to be commissioned to work on their Annual Review in 2015, and have continued to design it each year since then. The brief (or challenge!) was to make the review content more engaging and dynamic – reflecting the organisation’s work. The Annual Reviews are printed and also set up on issuu.com for online viewing. See 2015-16 Review,2017 Review and 2018-19 Review
