( THE SCOPE )
01
.
Annual & impact reports
Page layouts that bring narrative, figures and supporting information into a clear reading order. We consider both the quick read and the person looking closely at the detail.
02
.
Books & publications
Editorial layouts with a consistent approach to typography, hierarchy and navigation, from chapter openings and long-form pages to captions and references.
03
.
Charts & infographics
Visual explanations built from your supplied data, with clear labels, units and source notes. The design should help readers understand the evidence and its context.
( THE PROCESS )
01
.
Understand the reader
We start with the audience, purpose, source material and intended format. Together, we agree the scope, milestones and review stages.
02
.
Find the structure
We map the sections and reading order, then design representative pages to establish the typography, visual hierarchy and treatment of data.
03
.
Develop and review
Once the direction is agreed, we build out the publication. Your team reviews the content and figures; we refine the layout through the agreed rounds.
04
.
Prepare the handoff
We prepare the agreed digital or print-ready files, checking the layout against the final content and any production specifications supplied.
Good design starts with sound content.
Your team supplies and approves the final facts, figures and permissions for text and images. We shape the structure and design. Any writing or editing needs are discussed and agreed separately before work begins.
( RELATED WORK โ FILM )
For shikshฤgraha, we created a film about a peopleโs movement for education equity. Itโs an example of our storytelling work in film: making room for the people, purpose and context behind an initiative.
( TESTIMONIALS )
Prasanth Nori
Head of Research, Wayground (formerly Quizizz)
I'm fortunate to have worked with Thiru, Gnanesh and team Spica since the very start of their journey. Whether it's with video production, UI/UX Design, Graphic Design all the way to print and website work Spica never ceases to amaze me. They are exceptionally hard working yet make it look so effortless. Well coordinated, professional and clearly a deep passion for all the work they do. I have recommended them to dozens of clients since and not once has anyone come back with a complaint. Excited for all the amazing work Spica is going to do and I feel fortunate to have worked with them from the start

Working with the Spica Design team over the past five years has been a consistently positive experience. Thiru, Gnanesh, and the entire team are highly skilled, deeply committed, and a pleasure to work with. They take the time to truly understand client requirements and reliably deliver high-quality work, even under very tight timelines.
( BEFORE YOU BEGIN )
Yes. Share the current copy, data, images and any brand guidelines. Weโll review whatโs ready, identify gaps and agree the structure before moving into the full layout.
Let us know what support you need. Writing and editing are discussed separately so that responsibilities, review stages and deliverables are clear from the start.
We can plan digital and print-ready versions as part of the agreed scope. Share your intended uses and any printer specifications early, so the layout and delivery files suit them.
That depends on the length, content readiness, number of charts, formats and review rounds. Share your material and deadline; weโll discuss a realistic scope, schedule and estimate.
