Visual Research & Treatment Layout


Richard Giannotti

Communicating Ideas Visually

Well-designed visuals speak clearer than any number of conferences calls. Alliteration aside, I enjoy the collaborative process of conceptualization. Through research, design, and feedback, I build visual treatments, investment decks, and presentations that communicate my client’s ideas.

The Process

Creative Brief

I usually start with a creative brief, often a script or boards, and a call with the director to chat through their vision.

Visual Research & Feedback

With the director’s notes in mind, I dive into visual research to create an image library, which gets sorted and sent to the director for review.

Giving preference to the director’s selects, I’ll lay out the visual treatment in InDesign, editing imagery in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere.
