We dive into our research to understand the science story before we begin concept sketching visual solutions to the challenges that have been laid out in the creative brief. We then send this to you for review and feedback notes.

We implement your feedback notes and tighten up the illustrations in the form of tight sketches. Colour may be introduced at this stage and you will have another opportunity to provide your valued feedback so that we move the project forward towards our final goal.
