Illustration
The word illustration has a diverse set of definitions. In this instance, we mean the literal pictorial definition: Visual matter used to clarify. These are non-motion graphics produced in a variety of styles to meet the needs of a number of different audiences and clients. Please note, if you need an animation, we offer most [...]
Animation
From the Latin animātiō, “the act of bringing to life”, our animations can do just that for your story. Our animations have appeared in a variety of media ranging including tradeshow exhibits, international presentations, desktop software, and iPod apps. These motion graphics are produced in a variety of styles to meet the needs of a [...]
3D Models
3D models are the building blocks of many of our visualizations. The flexibility they provide for our images is essential to our workflow. Most of these are built from scratch, starting as a simple cube and subdivides, extruded, and sculpted into their final forms. Physical sculptures are also available, both as hand sculpted pieces and [...]
Photography
Although we specialize in illustration and animation, sometimes photography is more appropriate for communicating a message. Often, especially for our interactive and exhibit projects, a mixture of media types is needed.

“Interactive” is a pretty big category that is best summed up with the idea that this is scientific information distribution, learning, and understanding in real-time.

Exhibits
Like interactives, exhibit design is a fairly broad category. These projects can include everything from illustration and animation to sculpture and interactives. Some are designed to be more passive exhibits where they can display information to visitors in high traffic areas. Others are designed to draw in a crowd…the type of thing you might want [...]
Infographics
We define infographics as imagery that is designed to present complex information quickly and clearly. These visual explanations provide a conceptual basis for understanding, often through simplified visuals but sometimes with richly illustrated components to convey maximum information and simultaneously ease the process of understanding.
Storyboards
Storyboards are the blueprints of an animation. We offers a complete solution for our animation clients from research and concept through storyboard and animatic to final animation production. If an outside production department is handling the final animation of a complex scientific problem, Illumination Studios will often provide the storyboards because of our extensive scientific [...]
Identity
Corporate identities are often done by firms specializing solely in branding. Because of our diverse background, Illumination Studios offers these services as well. We have successfully created indentities for a variety of companies and campaigns ranging from simple designs with beautiful typography to detailed illustrated logos and everything in between. We approach identity creation with [...]
