Lime-green opening letter with a serif headline, multi-column body copy, a portrait on a yellow backdrop and a blue circular "what's in it for you" sticker.

Summary

A welcome letter set on a lime-green field, opening the report with a serif headline, two columns of body copy, a head-and-shoulders portrait, and a blue circular sticker listing what the reader will get.

Visual description

Bright lime-green (#7DDB2A) background. A small "THE SHIFT" monospace label sits top-left. A two-line serif headline reads "A LETTER FROM OUR HEAD OF RESEARCH." Below it, the letter runs across two narrow columns of dark body copy and closes with a signature ("Till then, stay curious. Liv"). Top-right is a portrait of a smiling woman in a blue shirt photographed against a flat yellow backdrop, with a vertical rotated monospace image credit running up its left edge. A blue circle in the lower-right corner, styled like a peel-off sticker, is headed "WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?" and lists the report's contents in small white text.

Key takeaway

The peel-off circular sticker as a way to surface a contents promise without breaking the letter layout, and the trick of shooting the portrait on a flat secondary color (yellow) so it pops against the green field. The rotated monospace credit doubles as a typographic detail.

Reuse notes

A warm, human opener for a report or brand book, good when you want a named voice to introduce the document. Works best with a strong color background and a portrait shot on a contrasting seamless. The signature gives it an intimate, editorial tone.
