GOALS

Develop a title treatment and visual identity for a gripping new true-crime series that highlights victims solving their own cases from beyond the grave.

CONCEPT OVERVIEW

Design a compelling visual identity for Hulu’s original true-crime series How I Caught My Killer, supporting a fully integrated marketing campaign. The series features hour-long, standalone episodes, each telling a chilling real-life story.

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.

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.
