What makes a great visual?
10 ideas is a design process to unearth insight through conversation to find the strongest visual idea. Welcome to the world of Visual Thinkery.
Here’s what we do
Most artwork that we’ve created has followed Visual Thinkery’s collaborative 10 ideas process, which means that at the root of all the ideas is an open conversation. Click on a Category below for more examples.
