SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA • PUBLICATION DESIGN • EST. 1995

Tobi Designs is an annual report design firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We help organizations engage their audiences through beautifully designed annual reports, magazines, books, catalogs, and white papers — managing complex projects from concept to delivery.

ABOUT US & OUR FOUNDER

EXPERIENCED

We know exactly what it takes — and after 30 years, we’ve seen it all.

Publication design is a discipline unto itself. Since 1995, we’ve brought manuscripts to life with the authority, craft, and hard-won judgment that only decades of practice can build.

CLEAN

Clean design isn’t simply minimalism — it’s mastery.

We achieve clean design through deliberate choices in form, color, scale, proportion, and balance. Good design is the path between your message and your reader. We make sure nothing gets in the way.

ARTICULATE

Precision in design begins with depth of thought.

Our team draws on broad experience across disciplines to generate original concepts. Our preliminary designs are rigorous explorations of typography, imagery, and layout. We don’t guess at what works — we reason toward it.

CONTEMPORARY

We design for the audience that exists right now.

Staying current keeps our clients relevant. We study the visual landscape constantly: what’s emerging, what’s lasting, what’s tired. Our work reflects contemporary sensibility without chasing trends.

ENGAGING

Great publication design turns readers into participants.

We design with a deep understanding of hierarchy, pacing, and points of entry — creating experiences that reward both the skimmer and the top-of-the-page-to-bottom reader.
