Were you aware of the process that created the whole look of the series?

I know the only thing that I know about the look of the series is that there was a certain brightness that they wanted to it, which changed with Deep Space 9, where they wanted a certain darkness. I don't know if Patrick was but, lower down, the actors were never privy to how the spaceship was going to look or how the cast, extras and aliens were going to look. That was something that was totally decided upstairs.
