Design, Innovate, Transform

Current science has reached a point where the need for Visual Campaigns is critical. The current and expanding deluge of data is overwhelming. There is a pressing need to present the most relevant bits of data and visualising them in a graphical/animated manner. Graphic Design has been pushing to break into scientific research. It promises to help scientists present their sophisticated data in a more visual fashion which is easy to understand by their peers and society.

However: Are the scientists willing to become designers? Do they have the time and training for it? Scientists have been trained and have developed different sets of skills. However given their hectic schedules, they are unlikely to have the time to focus on presentations although most agree that there is an urgent need for graphical assets, beautiful and professional visual aids to communicating their data in a nice and effective manner.

This is where the Visual Thinker can step in.

The Visual Thinker will work closely with you to determine the best means to tell your story. We offer an extensive range of services to suit all the needs of your projects.

Interested in creating a Visual Project together? Email me at gloglita@thevisualthinker.xyz and we can discuss about your ideas and how to take them in the Visual kingdom or you can request a quote at my Contact Us form.

But do it! It will be great fun working together!

How does the process work

STEP 1: Contact Us

Head over the Contact section above. Explain briefly what your project is about and tentative deadline. The Visual Thinker will contact you either by email or Zoom to discuss further details about your needs, target audience, preferred image style and licensing rights. If you have references relating to your project, this is a great time to discuss about them.

Once we have a good idea of the depth of the project, we will provide you with and quote and terms for review. This will most likely include the description of the project, transfer of rights, fees and other terms unique to your project.

STEP 2: Research on the topic

After everything is agreed on and the contract is signed, we will begin research and preliminary development of concept drawings of your story.

The Visual Thinker will gather information about your project. We have extensive experience in Science, so we can easily come up with a story for your project, but remember that you have the spin and angle that you want to give it. We are here exclusively to support your story.

STEP 3: Mocked design for discussion until approval

Preliminary sketches and semi-rendered images or videos will be prepared to showcase the different ways to illustrate your story and to assess the scientific accuracy of the content.

At this stage, we will work continually to revise the preliminary concept proofs until we have the artwork and message just right. It is the time for collective brainstorming.

Remember to give useful inputs that can end up producing THE PRODUCT that you are seeking. Communication is key to achieve effectiveness in this process.

STEP 4: Project Delivery & Closing.

With final approval of the concept proof, The Visual Thinker will begin working on the final artwork. Nearing completion, we will sent you one final proof for any last, minor revisions.

With the piece approved and finished, we will deliver the project files to you electronically, by way of WeTransfer link.

And finally it is time to make your payment to The Visual Thinker.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST

There is no unique answer to that question. All the projects are custom and a variety of factors will determine the final cost.

The number of Illustrations or any other assets requested. Ask for our Packages Prices.
The degree of rendering, and thus time it takes to create the asset. Black and white? Color? Detail level?
Usage, market, distribution and rights. Ask for our Student and Academic prices.
Factors that can significantly effect the cost of an image include the style or technique chosen, amount of research required, complexity of the story being told, turn around time and usage.
Copyright to the images is maintained by me, the artist. However, interested clients can always inquire about purchasing a full buy-out to the illustration.

Without this information I cannot provide you with an accurate estimate. The best way to get an estimate is to contact me and we will talk about your project. Anyway the initial consultation is always free, so why not to try?

I have been a scientist for quite few years, but I decided to keep helping science through visual stories rather than research. I understand perfectly the different situations in scientific environments, I am striving to work within your budget and adjust to your constraints. I am pretty sure we can discuss and find a match of my services and skills to your needs.
