The life sciences landscape is vast, complex, and rapidly changing, so it can be hard to navigate. Valuable knowledge and ground-breaking innovations can be buried because people are forced to dissect complex content to find what they really want to know.
But when science is beautifully portrayed for everyone to comprehend there’s no need for a dissection kit. Our experienced scientific copywriters and designers work closely together to achieve just that. By accompanying compelling stories with captivating design, they paint a scientific picture that clearly showcases your complex innovations to your audience of choice.
In this article, we guide you through the process taken by our copywriters and design team to create scientifically accurate but visually appealing schematics, logos, and scientific illustrations that help you stand out.
The collaboration
- Understanding the client and subject
All of our copywriters are scientific graduates from top European universities. They are equipped with varying academic experience, from master’s degrees to high-level postdoctoral knowledge, offering unique, in-depth, and complementary perspectives difficult to find elsewhere.
Our scientific copywriters brief our designers on what the client does, what their philosophy is, and their desired outcome (as mentioned in our previous article). Starting from the client’s needs, our designers use their creative expertise to make designs that are even better than the client imagined.
For one client we were tasked with creating a visual identity for a large biotech project. While it would have been easy to take the obvious route and make a logo directly out of the scientific elements they use, our copywriters and designers got together to brainstorm some more abstract elements and different colors to give the project a more dynamic feel, which also fits our client’s personality. When two options were presented to the client – the one they were expecting and our more novel idea – they were delighted to choose the second. The story behind the visuals made sense which they could get behind and proudly show it off.
- Identifying the story and audience
This process also heavily depends on the target audience of the client. Is it scientific professionals with prior knowledge, the general public, or investors? Identifying the person most likely to benefit from or purchase your product or services allows our copy team and designers to create tailored content at the right level for the right reader. With a background in and passion for science, our copywriters understand what makes a great, inspiring story that drives customer action for different audiences. From case studies showcasing your happy clients to whitepapers solving complex technical problems (and so much more), our copywriters have you covered. From colorful science infographics to sleek scientific posters, our designers adjust their style to your needs, matching your brand.
