Limn Studio designs reports, studies and data-heavy publications for governments, international organisations and companies. Research takes months to produce. We give it a form people will actually read.
Start a projectSee the workWe don't do branding, websites or ad campaigns. We design long-form publications built on data, and we've spent years doing little else.
Survey reports, policy studies and evaluations, from a 20-page brief to a flagship running past 200 pages. We build the structure, the layout and the chart system around what your research actually says.
A year of work, condensed into a document a board member reads in twenty minutes. Annual, ESG and impact reports designed to look effortless and survive a close read.
One-off infographics, executive summaries and chart templates your team keeps using long after the project ends. Made for boardrooms, conferences and the public eye.
Every publication gets its own visual system. The spreads below are studio samples: different palettes, different chart vocabularies, the same standard of clarity.
Survey questions with layered answers, kept readable.
Multi-series time data with annotation layers.
Donuts and part-to-whole charts that stay honest.
Two audiences on one axis — the distance is the story.
Many countries, many indicators, one readable grid.
A chapter's worth of findings on a single page.
We read the whole manuscript, methodology included. It's surprising how rare that is among designers.
You approve the flatplan, story arc and chart list before any styling happens. No surprises at page sixty.
A visual system built for this publication: palette, type, chart language. Applied with the same discipline on page 80 as on page 1.
Print and digital files, plus the chart system documented so your team can extend it next year. We tend to still be around for the next edition anyway.
A transparent starting point — every project gets an exact, fixed quote after a short conversation about your material.
Limn Studio works with governments, international organisations and companies on their most important publications: national surveys, studies, annual reports. We take a project from raw manuscript to finished document, print and digital.
The designer who reads your methodology is the same person laying out your pages. Nothing gets lost in handoffs, questions get answered the same day, and decisions about your charts are made by someone who understands what they show. Most of our clients come back with their next report.
We work in the language your readers speak. That includes bilingual editions and right-to-left scripts like Arabic.
Write a few lines about the publication: what it is, roughly how many pages, when you need it. You'll hear back within a business day, usually with a few questions.
