The Plot Against America was the largest undertaking I've ever had in my film and TV work. The project spanned eight months, requiring an enormous amount of graphics. As the Supervising Graphic Designer I lead a team of five to eight designers over the course of the show. Given the scope, this exhibit will feature the designs of my colleagues along with my own. Please see the captions for individual credits.
