The primary challenge was to create a cohesive brand identity and compelling visual content that could clearly convey Rizoma's vision of democratizing innovation to a diverse audience, including public and private sectors, organized groups, and citizens.

Additionally, the project needed to represent the collaborative nature of the initiative and showcase its potential for transformation across productive, academic, and social sectors. This required translating concepts of innovation and ecosystem-building into visually appealing and easily understandable content, through a multi-faceted approach to branding, design, and motion graphics.
