The beautiful page layouts, typography and paper make this square format annual report especially appealing."NOVEC -- 2003 Annual ReportBecky Whitelock, Director of Communications and Sarah Smarrelli, Publishing Assistant, Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC), Manassas, VA."This is a world-class annual report -- from the elegantly simple, yet inviting cover to the visually successful illustrations (including the nicely done contents page) showing NOVEC's territory, to the beautifully chosen, large photo spreads and very appealing typography -- especially the heads, decks and wonderfully informative (as they should be) captions.
