“Vanished” series branding

The quick turnaround documentary I worked on back in February was recommissioned by Channel 5 as a four part series. ITN Productions asked me to remake the graphics. The good news was I had a bit more time to work on the titles, but the bad news was I wasn’t allowed to use the strong images I could use of the missing lady in the first job, as with this branding, no one could be recognisable. I was told to give it a glassy, glossy feel, and keep it dark blue, to suggest police colours. And then given a really clumsy subtitle to fit in at the last minute. Hey, that’s the job – keep your client happy! Two weeks of work: titles, name supers, content graphics, set panel design.
