Scope of Work

At Unrelated, our specialty lies in creating visually impactful research whitepapers and presentation decks. With RMI, we begin our process by understanding their goals, audience, and messaging needs. We gather insights and data to inform our design strategy through in-depth research and consultations.

As part of a team of skilled designers and editors with our partners at M. Harris and Co. and MG Strategy + Design, we utilize creative and functional approaches to translate complex information into visually engaging exhibits and figures. We leverage a variety of graphic elements such as infographics, charts, and illustrations to effectively communicate key concepts and data points. Each design is carefully crafted to enhance comprehension and engagement, ensuring that the whitepaper delivers its message with clarity and impact.

Throughout the process, we maintain open lines of communication with RMI’s research teams, soliciting feedback and making adjustments as needed to ensure the final product meets or exceeds expectations. With meticulous attention to detail, we polish the whitepaper to perfection, ensuring accuracy, coherence, and visual appeal. The end result is a powerful document that informs, educates, and inspires action, furthering RMI’s mission to transform the global energy system and secure a sustainable future for all.
