WHAT'S THE LAST GREAT THING YOU WATCHED? –– Hosts of the hit podcast "The Big Picture", Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins, ask this of their guests as they discuss the latest blockbuster releases. "The Big Picture" is the latest of The Ringer's podcast suite to get a redesign and revamp from my friends at Ingenuity Studios.

As the podcast prepared to launch on Youtube for the 2025 Oscar season, we were hard at work creating a new visual design package to accompany it. The team at Ingenuity helped to hone in the overall look and feel while I explored designing lower thirds, title cards, and styleframes for their new intro title sequence. Here you'll see some of my explorations and an early cut of this title sequence before the team carried it through to the finish line.

For over 100 years, The Urban League of Greater Kansas City has had one simple mission, "To enable African Americans and other disadvantaged persons to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights." For the ULKC's 100th birthday, our team at Barkley gave this important organization a brand new identity to celebrate their history and where they were heading as an organization. 

We accompanied this rebrand with a manifesto, illustrated by brave and bold kinetic typography. Drawing inspiration from typography and images of America's civil rights movements, as well as documentaries of adversity and perseverence such as "The Last Dance", we created a powerful piece of work, which declares that after 100 years, the Urban League of Greater Kansas City stands proud of their accomplishments, but the fight for equity is far from over.

The primary objective of Apollo 11 was to complete a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961: perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth. On July 20, 1969, the presiding president, Richard M. Nixon, informed the people of the nation, in a haunting address, that our astronauts would not be returning home.

Or at least, that's what would have happened, had Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin not made their return safely to Earth. 

This piece is a kinetic type study, illustrating a speech that President Nixon had prepared for the worst case scenario of the Apollo 11 mission. I created a kinetic alphabet to bring barren and dramatic life to a font family that already symbolized bold, daring, and classic design.
