THE FULL PACKAGE

I conceptualize, design and animate many of the graphics and visual effects elements seen on Cold Case Files. As with most of my work, I like to emulate and/or mix real-world elements into the show’s graphics, animations and visual effects. When it comes to true crime, authenticity is key. So it’s important for me to present all of the forensic evidence, crime scene photos, maps, etc. with quality and real-life authenticity.

We redesign a lot of newspaper articles because the originals can be of poor quality👇 These examples were remade from scratch

👇 We use a lot of slider devices as a technique to present all kinds of evidence, photos, documents and other forensic materials👇

 
 

I also designed the typography package for the series👇…

…which all stems from the Main Title design 👉

New episodes of Cold Case Files coming soon to Hulu and A+E.
