The brief
At 272 pages, creating this publication is an appropriately epic production – too much for the BFI’s in-house studio.
Our challenge is to expedite the publication process and remain strictly on budget. We have to adhere to tight production schedules to meet rigid publication deadlines – at the same time we need to guarantee that all the statistical data is presented error-free and that the look and feel of the document is in keeping with the BFI’s visual identity guidelines.
What we did
Overall design and layout styling
Development of templates and style sheets
Layout of all pages
Transposition of spreadsheet data into tables and charts
Digital publication of individual chapters
Collation of final digital document
Creation of online ‘page-turner’ edition

The background
Founded in 1933, the British Film Institute combines cultural, creative and industrial roles to champion all aspects of the British film industry within the UK and internationally.
Every year the BFI publish their Statistical Yearbook. This delivers the most comprehensive picture of the film industry in the UK and records the performance of British films abroad. We help the BFI to obliterate indifference to the British film industry as this critical document inspires media coverage, influences government policy, underpins educational initiatives and supports marketing efforts in the domestic market and abroad.
