I was so honored to have been the BG Design Lead for Bad Crimes at Netflix. I was brought in very early with the art director, Ricky Cometa, who gave me a lot of artistic freedom to build a show style in my own hand. I was responsible for developing the BG style, writing the style guide for our vendor studio, and much of the predesign the board team used to build their scenes. Much of what i tried to emphasize in this show was a playful hand drawn quality that didn’t get too funhouse-y in perspective. The dramatic black shadows ended up being a really fun element to see in paint, where the contrast really punched things up. I had so much fun on this project, and it was devastating when Netflix discontinued production. Fingers crossed she finds a new home somewhere!
