About me
Ron Zikno
I am an Art Director and Graphic Designer specializing in visual storytelling for film, television, streaming productions, and commercial campaigns. My work focuses on creating environments, graphics, and visual identities that feel authentic to the world of a story while supporting the director’s vision and the needs of production.
With a background across narrative and commercial workflows, I bridge two essential disciplines: art direction and production-focused graphic design. This integrated approach allows me to deliver 3D set visualizations, in-world graphics, brand identities, props, screen designs, and motion elements from one source—reducing communication loops and helping productions move faster and with more clarity.
I believe that strong visual design in film is not only aesthetic but functional. It guides performances, supports cinematography, and improves audience immersion. From early concept development to on-set execution, I work closely with directors, production designers, and art departments to ensure that each detail enhances the narrative and works on camera.
What I Bring to Your Production
Story-driven visual thinking
Every environment and graphic decision serves character, tone, and narrative intention.
Efficient, production-ready workflows
Clear communication, reliable delivery, and adaptable support—on set or remote.
Integrated expertise
Art direction and graphic design from one partner reduces back-and-forth, revisions, and approvals.
How i work
I join productions in different phases—pitch, pre-production, principle photography, or post—for tasks including:
- 3D visualizations & concept frames for sets and locations
- In-world graphics, signage, documents & prop design
- Fictional brand identities & period-accurate graphic systems
- Interface/screen graphics & motion design for on-camera playback
- Key art, posters, titles & promotional elements
Whether it’s shaping the visual language of a long-form series or developing on-screen graphics for a high-speed commercial shoot, my goal is always the same: clear communication, consistent design, and strong visual storytelling.
Based in Tel Aviv and Vienna — Working Worldwide
I collaborate with clients and productions in Israel and internationally, both on-site and remote.
