Finance application forms, not the most exciting things in the world are they. But, it is important to bring a considered and structured approach to these very standardised designs. Octopus already had the design for these forms set, but needed the base design rolled out to dozens of different forms and brochures.

A disciplined job, setting up the templates with the corporate colours and a standard set of style sheets across the whole project. These application forms were created entirely with InDesign tables, not simply placing form elements over coloured boxes. This means that when the content is edited or moved around, all elements reflow seamlessly. It also means that entire table elements could be copied across different documents, added to the flow of the document and edited and adapted to suit the new file.
