SECOND THOUGHT – ART DIRECTION

I worked closely with the “Second Thought” YouTube channel for many years. He currently has over 1.7 million subscribers. Important to note, however, is that Second Thought’s politics, views, and opinions are solely his own. They do not represent my personal views.

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.
