The Twilight Zone Project
A while back my brothers and I started up Sound, Sight & Mind, a podcast dedicated to The Twilight Zone. While discussing and debating the series I rediscovered my love of the classic show, and, inspired by designers ranging from Saul Bass to Juan Ortiz, I decided to create posters inspired by individual Twilight Zone episodes, with the goal of designing one for each of the 156 original episodes.
"The Obsolete Man" is quite a theatrical episode-- in fact, I think it would work terrifically adapted into a one-act stage play-- so I wanted to come up with something equally bold and graphic for the poster. I was also influenced by Art Deco graphics of the 1930's and '40s.
