Collaborating with Indigo Slate's exceptional team, I helped develop an extensive visual ecosystem for this confidential client. The samples shown represent only a fraction of our comprehensive asset production. This rare opportunity allowed me to fully immerse in 3D creation for several consecutive months, working from Jonathan Feldman's masterfully crafted models and guided by Indigo Slate's strategic creative direction.
Through rapid iteration cycles, we translated complex internal narratives into compelling visual communications that served the client's specialized storytelling needs. While client confidentiality prevents disclosure, the distinctive visual language may offer clues to its identity.

Initial Look Development Explorations
In the project's foundational phase, I led look development with strategic creative autonomy. This intensive exploration yielded diverse compositional studies and mood variations, establishing visual parameters while remaining adaptable to evolving creative direction. This deliberate process created a collaborative feedback loop where team insights continuously elevated our visual direction.

Options, Iterations, and Feedback
Showcased here are select explorations from an extensive creative development phase. The iterative workflow demanded rapid concept generation for team evaluation—each piece subject to approval, refinement, or elimination based on strategic fit. This unsentimental selection process, where no concept was treated as precious, fostered honest creative assessment without emotional attachment.

Finding the Cover
These compositions were strategically engineered as foundation pieces for internal presentation decks, featuring deliberate negative space to accommodate typography and additional design elements. Each image's visual weight was meticulously balanced to reinforce the client's narrative of precision and purposeful execution while maintaining maximum flexibility for the design team's implementation needs.
