Looking through the company shop window

Article Abstract:

Annual corporate reports are used to attract investors and large firms can spend a great deal of money on their reports. The cost for design can range from 20,000 pounds sterling to 120,000 pounds and paper and print costs also have to be paid. Smaller companies may use a conventional format from their printer. Design fees have tended to remain static due to competition in the market. Companies using the same designer over a four year period tend to expect prices not to rise.

Death of the boardroom portrait

Article Abstract:

Portraits of boards of directors are becoming increasingly rare in the UK. This is partly due to rapid changes in management, and also because managers travel more frequently and it is difficult to locate them all in the same place for a photo. Directors may be portrayed as involved with each other and not looking toward the viewer, which gives an appearance of inner unity. They may also be portrayed as facing with viewer with an appearance of external unity.
