Design Brief: Digital Report/Directory Design & Creation Project Overview We are developing a comprehensive Technology Directory/Report, a resource designed to guide decision-makers in our industry. This report will serve as an authoritative, visually appealing guide, showcasing key insights, trends, and vendor listings across multiple categories and sub-categories. The directory will include both free and premium listings, and we aim to make it an evergreen resource with strong visual and structural clarity. All content and text will be sourced and provided to the designer by us. We require a designer/team who can design and construct the report in collaboration with our project team. ________________________________________ Project Scope 1.
