AEEMA Annual Report 2007

The Australian Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (AEEMA) is the leading industry body representing Australia's information and communication technology (ICT), electronics and electrical manufacturing industries.

This year we were invited to design AEEMA's Annual Report for the eighth time, using content that was expertly prepared by Karen Jamal from KJ Communications.

Following on from last years successful design, this years report weighed in at 56 A4 pages plus cover. The text is printed black plus Pantone 2728 throughout, and the cover prints full colour both sides.

Thanks to Joan Morrell at AEEMA for the positive feedback about the job:

The Annual Report arrived Friday afternoon and I am very pleased with the result. Thanks for doing a great job as usual.

Joan Morrell
Financial Controller & Operations Manager, AEEMA.

We look forward to working with AEEMA on more projects in the future. The report is available for download in PDF format here.

The WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement

Back in 2006 we edited and designed a small booklet for the Office of the Chief Plant Protection Officer at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry titled The WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement: Why you need to know.

More information is available on the relevant page on the DAFF website.

This year we are producing five new versions of this booklet in five languages: Khmer, Bahasa Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese and Lao.

We are able to produce short documents in-house in foreign languages, with larger jobs outsourced to our foreign language typesetting partners, and managed by us.

A methodology for evaluating ROI from NRM R&D

Following on from the mammoth document produced for Land & Water Australia last month comes another, smaller, document in the same series: A methodology for evaluating return on investment from natural resource management research and development.

This 63 page A4 document describes the methods and templates for analysis used in the main document. We edited and designed both documents.

More information is available on the Land and Water Australia website, or you can download a copy in PDF format.

Australian Army Journal Vol. 4, No. 1

The latest issue of the Australian Army Journal has hit the streets. This issue, known as Autumn 2007, is the first of three planned issues for 2007. The 226 page journal is available for download in PDF format here, or through the Land Warfare Studies Centre website.

LWA Portfolio ROI

We have just completed the editing and design of a mammoth document for Stuart Pearson at Land & Water Australia. This 672 page A4 document, titled Land & Water Australia's Portfolio Return on Investment 2nd Edition, examines the impact that Land & Water Australia's research has had on achieving the sustainable use and management of Australia's natural resources.

More information about this document, along with a link to the downloadable PDF version, is available on the Land & Water Australia website here.

ACIAR Impact Assessment Series

We are regularly called upon to edit and design documents for the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). Among these documents are ACIAR's Impact Assessment Series. In the last few months we have worked on:

• IAS40: Zero tillage for weed control in India: the contribution to poverty alleviation
• IAS41: ACIAR and public funding of R&D: submission to the Productivity Commission study on public support for science and innovation
• IAS42: Benefits to Australia of selected CABI products
• IAS43: Water management in public irrigation schemes in Vietnam

All these documents are available for download on the ACIAR website.
