VISUAL RESEARCH
Image research, references, and visual context for creative projects.
Smooth Decorator develops focused visual research for film, television, interiors, publishing, brands, and cultural projects.
Research can explore a particular period, place, movement, material, or visual language, or translate a broad creative brief into a coherent set of references from which a project can develop.
THE APPROACH
Drawing on art history, design history, archives, film, photography, and contemporary visual culture, research is edited rather than simply accumulated. The result is a useable visual document with a
clear point of view.

quoted separately where required.
For film and TV specifically, Bectu or APA rate is expected in accordance with the level of production.
