The correct combination of imagery, colour, typography and even motion-design is derived from thorough brand and user research, as well as creative workshops with you. We present and refine the design concept in different phases of development, to make sure that the end-result is satisfactory to all those involved. Visual Design Development We continue developing the approved graphic concept on a more complex level, creating suggestions for visual hierarchies and maintaining graphic consistency.
