Killer Visual Strategies began as one of the West Coast’s first infographic design firms. You may have known us as “Killer Infographics” then. Today, we’re the leading visual communication agency in the nation. This niche sets us apart. More specific than graphic design services, we provide companies with visual content strategies. As a result, our portfolio shows our full range of visual content and strategy options. Take a look below.

- Annual & Financial Report Design Whether static, animated, or interactive, annual report design is the key to ensuring your audience understands your message. The best annual reports incorporate a balance of text, data visualization, and icons and/or illustrations to highlight key points while also providing a deep-dive for those who are more invested. In many ways, it’s an annual or financial report that incorporates many of the most recognizable elements of a typical infographic. If you’re not sure how to create this type of report for your company, you’re in the right place. Explore the examples below to discover the broad variety of styles and approaches you have to choose from. For instance, while some organizations choose to design for print, others want to share their reports in PowerPoint presentations, or even interactive landing pages. Taking cues from interactive and infographic-inspired design lets your financial or annual report become the best it can be. That’s because the incorporation of visuals with text allows your audience to clearly see the key points at a glance, then decide where to read in more depth. Check out these projects to see what quality annual report design can do for you!
- Branding
- Branding & Brand Identity Design It’s no easy task to design a brand identity and logo that truly communicate the value of your company. Branding and rebranding is all about discovering what your customers need and want, then communicating how you can solve their problems in an entirely visual way. Whether you’re just in the initial planning stages or working with a brand identity agency, there’s a lot to consider. In the examples below, you’ll see how we’ve built brand identities for a variety of companies. Each is goal-oriented and specially designed to appeal to their target audiences. From apparel companies to government agencies, from manufacturers to nonprofits, you’ll discover that brand identities can take many forms — and hopefully learn which approach might be right for you. Every organization needs a visual fingerprint — a way to be recognized wherever they appear. That’s where brand identity design comes in — and why working with an agency that specializes in branding, logos, and more is vital to the success of your branding efforts.
- Brochures, Posters, & Print Materials for Products & Services Digital marketing may be a huge business. But it still can’t replace the kinds of marketing materials you can hold in your hands. So from product brochures to conference collateral to scientific posters, explore the projects below to see the many designs we’ve created for print. Whether they’re attending trade shows or planning direct-mail campaigns, companies all over the world still consider print materials to be a fundamental part of their marketing efforts. After all, there’s more than one way to meet a potential customer. And your audience doesn’t just exist on the internet. You need a cross-channel strategy.

- Custom Infographics Try to remember the best infographics you’ve ever seen. To you, this may mean the most beautiful infographics, or the most unique, or the most successful at communicating their message. Whatever your definition of “best” is, you probably aren’t thinking of anything that felt disingenuous, cookie-cutter, trite, or run-of-the-mill. Most likely, your favorite designs have been custom infographics. Custom imagery has been found to produce 7x higher conversion rates than stock. And it’s easy to see why: today’s visually literate audiences can recognize stock imagery at a glance, and they see it as disingenuous. And that means it can reflect poorly on your brand. By pursuing the development of a strategic visual identity for your company, you can ensure that the custom imagery you create resonates with your target audience while staying true to your brand. This targeted approach ensures that your brand only produces the best and most beautiful custom infographics. These, in turn, will create a lasting impression among your audiences. They'll communicate that your organization values quality. Here are some of the custom infographic designs that the team at Killer Visual Strategies has created for our clients:
- Custom Trade Show Collateral & Booth Design Want to stand out from other businesses at the next conference you attend? We’re guessing you do. That’s why custom visual collateral and booth design should be an essential part of your company's trade show marketing strategy. Quality booth design and signage can set you apart in a crowded exhibit hall. When it comes to trade show collateral, there are many types of visual content to consider. A short, looping motion graphic that doesn’t rely on audio goes a long way in drawing conference-goers to your booth. Why not rely on audio? Because trade show halls are loud! Interactive content can keep attendees engaged. Meanwhile, print materials such as brochures, flyers, and sales sheets are effective takeaways that help ensure people remember you after they walk away. No matter what custom collateral your company decides to design for a trade show, it’s important that all pieces of visual communication — from booth design to brochures — stay on brand. You also want to achieve a cohesive look and feel across assets. That way, whether you’re posting promotional content on social media before the event, connecting with attendees at your booth, or giving a presentation, your brand will always stand out. Peruse the projects below to discover ideas and inspiration for your next trade show booth, brochure, flyer, or motion graphic design.
- Dashboard Design Examples When you have important data to deliver, an interactive dashboard is an effective and dynamic way to share metrics and data visualizations with your audience. Examples of successful dashboard designs are clear and easy to navigate. Users should be able to explore the platform at their own pace to find key takeaways and gather insights from enlightening data viz — without encountering information overload. By following the best practices of interactive dashboard design, you can ensure that your dashboard is engaging and user-friendly. You can also be certain that your dashboard enables users to find the answers to their questions. You’ll want to include accurate data visualization to keep information clear and quickly communicate complex results. Luckily, most interactive dashboards can be easily edited as data changes. This ensures that your interface is always up-to-date and reliable. Take a look at these examples of interactive dashboard design to see how Killer Visual Strategies has worked with our clients to build platforms with strong data visualization, interactive elements, and engaging animation. Whether they’re featuring poll results or sharing an annual report, each dashboard achieves the client’s unique goals. And each is design to appeal to their unique audience. That's what makes them truly custom.

- eBook Design Services eBooks are a perfect medium for establishing your company’s thought leadership and subject-matter expertise. They can be shared within your organization or as part of your content marketing strategy. They can even serve as a virtual leave-behind following webinars or other events. But without impactful design, your ebook may not have what it takes to get your target audience to read past the cover page. That’s where partnership with an ebook design service can help. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But ebook cover design is an important consideration. Especially if you've gated your ebook, the cover and a brief description may be all your audience has at their disposal to decide whether or not to download. Because of this — and because you want the inside of your ebook to be just as engaging as the cover — leveraging an agency with experience in ebook design services may just give you the advantage. Check out some of the ebook and report designs we’ve created for our clients below. You can also explore our Killer ebooks on visual communication and marketing. We hope you’ll discover ideas and inspiration for your next project.

- Geekwire Videos The motion graphic designers at Killer Visual Strategies love working with GeekWire. That's because we get to create unique motion graphic animations for their events each year, drawing inspiration from themes in technology and Seattle design life. The first year, we created an 8-bit video about tech startups. Since then, we've designed a play on the TV show Silicon Valley's opening sequence, a moving story about advances in medical technology, and a look at tech innovation across Seattle's history. You can see all of these motion graphics here. They vary quite a bit in animation style and inspiration, with each motion graphic focusing on a unique theme. So check them all out!
- Illustration
- Illustration & Animation When companies are creating visual marketing materials, they often forget the powerful role that illustration can play. Sure, photography and live-action video can be great — that is, if your industry, product, or service lends itself to them. But if you produce a software product, work on the microscopic level, or deal with abstract concepts or ideas, photography often just isn’t an option. This is where illustration can help. Whether you’re producing motion graphics, data visualizations, infographics, or any other visual content, illustration and animation can bring your story to life. In the illustrations below, you’ll see how companies demonstrated their value, explained complex topics, or told visual stories. These efforts were all complemented by illustrated and animated characters, scenes, scenarios, explanations, and landscapes. And if you think the end result has to look like a cartoon, think again. B2B and B2C companies alike — each with very different products and services to sell — have used visual content to communicate elegance and sophistication. If you’re looking for animation and illustration companies to partner with, make sure to see whether they’re skilled in accurate data visualization as well as the production of a wide range of visual content, including motion graphics and infographics. What’s more, you may want to ask for a visual language. That way, you can clearly define the illustration style that’s right for your company. This will ensure that style is carried out across all projects. Consistent quality and message will naturally follow. That means greater brand recognition for your company. And that's good for your bottom line.
- Infographics
- Information & Data Visualization Design Services Visual information design companies use elements such as data visualization, typography, icons, and illustrations to communicate content. Design services that specialize in data visualization and other key forms of visual communication are able to offer a higher-quality, custom approach. That's something that DIY tools and templates just can’t offer. What’s more, these agencies go beyond general graphic design knowledge. Rather, they provide niche expertise. Visual communication experts know how to deliver information not only beautifully, but accurately. The bottom line? They know how to marry form and function in ways traditionally trained designers don’t. At Killer Visual Strategies, we offer myriad strategy and design services, including data visualization and other forms of visual information design. If you’re curious about how beautiful data visualization could boost your content strategy, explore the possibilities that information design companies can offer. So explore the projects below. You'll see some of our favorite examples of information visualization:
- Interactive
- Interactive Experience Design An interactive experience offers a level of personalization that few other mediums can. That’s because interactive design allows users to explore at their own pace and only investigate what they’re interested in. Interactive data visualization, for example, can help you achieve this through click-to-reveal graphs; toggles and sliders to change metrics or timeframes on charts and graphs; and many other features. Audiences are attracted to interactive experiences because of this opportunity for customization. But the design process for interactive experiences is unique, requiring the close collaboration of your design and development teams to create a unified and user-friendly experience. That’s how Killer Visual Strategies’ in-house team works on every project. On this page, you’ll find examples of our interactive data visualizations, infographics, reports, and more.
- Motion Graphic Design Motion graphics can be incredibly effective marketing tools, when they’re done right. The internet is full of motion graphic video examples of varying styles, animation levels, and lengths. Some have complex character animation. Some incorporate live-action footage. And some are designed to watch without sound. How do you know what type of video is best for you? A design agency well-versed in motion graphic best practices can help determine the right approach for you based on your goals and use cases. They'll also take your audience into account. At Killer Visual Strategies, our team includes expert motion graphics designers and animators. Whether you need to create a helpful explainer video or promote a new product, we can work with you to create a visually impactful video. And we'll always have your goals in mind. We know that's crucial for successful results. On this page, you can explore examples of a wide variety of motion graphic videos our design agency has created for clients from a wide range of industries.

- Presentation Slide Design Presentation slide design offers a great opportunity to implement infographic-inspired techniques to make your deck more dynamic and memorable. When it's time to design a presentation, though, many people just throw some text and clip art into PowerPoint. But whether you’re working with an in-house team or a professional design agency, understanding how to create stunning PowerPoint presentations and slide designs is important. Inconsistent layouts, mismatched fonts, too much text, and stock imagery are common problems that can keep your presentation from being successful. And when multiple people or teams are contributing to a single presentation, consistency is especially difficult to achieve. A well-designed, unified PowerPoint template can keep presentations cohesive across your organization, so your brand always looks professional. Want an infographic-inspired PowerPoint presentation or slide design that keeps your audience engaged? It’s time to partner with the professionals. Explore the projects below. You'll see how our clients have found success with highly-visual presentations.

- Video Design Looking for a video animation company for your next project? Whether you’re creating a fully animated motion graphic, a live-action video with animated overlay, or a primarily live-action piece, it’s important to find the right video design approach for you. That means you also need to find the right video animation company to partner with. So ask yourself the following questions: Do they incorporate strategic exploration and ideation into the process? Do they analyze your brand and recommend unique approaches for distinct campaigns? Do they custom-design all of their videos so yours will be truly one-of-a-kind? The questions that are most important to you may vary. But the service provided by your video animation company should be as much of a priority as the end result. Whatever type of design your video needs, your goals and marketing strategy must also be top of mind. On this page, you’ll find a variety of motion graphic and video designs created by the team at Killer Visual Strategies. We’ve worked with everyone from automotive companies to higher education organizations to make compelling motion graphics. Which ones might inspire your next project?
