Abstract: The Art of Design was created by Scott Dadich, and in Season 2 he stepped behind the camera to direct an episode about Instagram’s head of design, Ian Spalter. The episode pulls back the curtain on what it takes to design an app used by over a billion people.
Our team also led the motion graphics for the second season. By building on the flexible visual language established in Season 1 and crafting animated sequences, we helped bring each designer’s creative world to life. This work earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Main Title Design.
Featuring visionaries like Olafur Eliasson, Neri Oxman, Ruth Carter, Cas Holman, Ian Spalter, and Jonathan Hoefler, Season 2 of Abstract dives deep into the minds shaping the visual world, revealing how design influences every part of modern life.
