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.
I tried to capture both the yearning for Earth and the fear of change that ultimately tethers the main character to the barren planet. The design for "On Thursday We Leave for Home" was inspired by late 1950s and early '60s "Space Race" themed advertisements.
