Overview

To promote the breakout series 'Yellowjackets,' I led the creative execution from concept to campaign rollout. The project aimed to visually convey the show's haunting dual timelines and psychological tension while appealing to both genre fans and prestige-TV audiences.

Role & Responsibilities

Role: Lead Art Director
Responsibilities: Key art concept and design direction, typography exploration, visual branding for campaign rollout including print, OOH, and digital assets. Collaborated with Creative Directors, showrunners and marketing teams to refine the campaign's visual tone and execution.

Campaign Concept

Built around the idea of 'Memento Mori,' the concept highlighted the characters' entangled survival narrative. I developed the visual language and compositional tone to reflect the show's dark emotional core. Asking the question: does darkness lie in the wilderness… or in the women?

Process & Development

Included moodboards, mockups, type exploration, shoot planning and raw photo selects. Pitched concepts to executives, championing the final selection. Focused on tightly-cropped compositions, and a deep, haunting image treatment to reflect the show’s cinematography.
