GOALS

Create a title treatment and show look for the gripping new true-crime series that illuminates victim's detective work from beyond the grave.

CONCEPT OVERVIEW

I was tasked with designing a visual identity for the fully integrated marketing campaign surrounding Hulu's new original show, How I Caught My Killer. The series consists of hour-long, standalone episodes.

The stakeholders at Hulu requested for the title treatment to emphasize how each story was about the victims rather than their killers. The hope was to recognize their actions rather than glorifying the bad guys. I opted to accomplish this by highlighting the word "I" along with alternating handwriting typefaces.

TITLE TREATMENT

VISUAL ELEMENTS

Even though this was a crime show, there was a desire to create an brighter, optimistic visual identity to contrast the darkness of the content. I was inspired to create a color scheme that included pops of yellow and to showcase visual motifs that alluded to clues left by characters in the show.

RETROSPECTIVE & CHALLENGES

I was very excited to work on this project as I was given full creative freedom to brainstorm  a fresh take on a genre known for being moody and dark. Having a background in painting, I enjoyed pushing forward a look that celebrated textures and handmade qualities.
