Working on Manhunt
I had the immense honor of leading the graphics team with the herculean task of bringing the graphics-drenched world of Manhunt to life.
Nearly every bit of wallpaper, every scrap of paper, every painted sign, every telegram, and every newspaper, was handled by our talented and passionate graphics team.
I designed hundreds of pieces for this series, but the most challenging and rewarding was carefully recreating a collection of custom wallpapers and textiles that could be found in the boardinghouse room where Abraham Lincoln died.
