SECOND THOUGHT – ART DIRECTION

NOTE: Second Thought’s politics, views, and opinions are entirely his own. I do not endorse, or condone them in any way.

I worked closely with the “Second Thought” YouTube channel for many years. He currently has over 1.7 million subscribers.

Logo / Motion Graphics

Second Thought originally billed himself as “a channel devoted to the things in life worth thinking about: science, history, politics, religion… basically everything you’re not supposed to talk about at the dinner table!” This inspired the lightbulb logo and motion graphics I designed for him. These featured prominently in the advertising, the social media presence, and of course the intro to every Second Thought video from 2016 – 2018.

Poster

Recently Second Thought began producing entirely political content. His channel was then rebranded by his YouTube network, Standard, and my lightbulb logo became a lightning bolt logo. Afterwards, Second Thought commissioned me to design a stylish poster suitable for print, apparel, and parallaxing webpage backgrounds.

I designed this poster for the Youtube Channel “Second Thought” I took inspiration from the Federal Art Project of 1935, world’s fair posters, and Harper’s Magazine.
