The scene in the original Fatal Attraction movie where the male lead is taking a shower, and the steam fills the bathroom, creating a tense moment where visibility is reduced, left a strong impression on me. To pay homage to that scene, I designed the graphic background to depict water droplets on a foggy glass window or mirror caused by the steam.
As a designer and animator, I built all the GFX elements included logo animation, intro, titlecards, endpages for all promo spots such as teaser and trailers for TV, social, and DOOH.

For the first-look poster and pre-teaser spots, we used the line “I won’t be ignored” in bold red text on a black background, without any details like the air date or Paramount+ logo. This created a sense of mystery and sparked curiosity among the audience.
Pre-teaser spots
I drew inspiration from Fellow Travelers, a story set in a time when their love couldn’t be openly accepted. Even in the darkness, they held onto hope and protected their love. The show package design uses mostly dark tones, but within that darkness, I used strong shadows with lights to represent the hope they held onto.

I wanted to capture the story’s emotions and reflect them in the graphics. Since the timeline was very tight, creating everything from scratch wasn’t realistic. Instead, I used stock footage and images, adjusted the colors to match the drama’s mood, and applied time remapping to add intensity.
The limited time actually led me to unexpected ideas, allowing me to discover new approaches that resulted in a successful outcome. This experience reinforced that, regardless of the constraints, it's always possible to find creative solutions and achieve even better results within the given conditions.

In School Spirits Season 2, the story follows Maddie, the main character who is a ghost, and Janet, a ghost inhabiting Maddie’s soulless body, pretending to be Maddie while living in the real world. The client requested that we not stray too far from the graphics of Season 1, so I focused on the duality of these two ghosts by incorporating a bold dividing line in all the graphics. I retained the paper texture from Season 1’s elements but layered it with a cement texture to evoke the feeling of a school basement, creating a heavier and grittier aesthetic. To enhance this, I used stronger pounding motion graphics and applied an RGB splitter effect to convey the sensation of a soul leaving a body. This allowed me to keep the visual identity of Season 1 while upgrading it and aligning it with the narrative of Season 2.

I received direction for Janet’s entrance to be covered in red light. Instead of using a strong direct red light in the frame, I leveraged the dust and scratches on the camera lens to create a bokeh effect, making the transition more detailed and visually dynamic.

YOUNGER LOGO MAKING FILM
When TV Land’s Creative Director, Michael Waldron and Art Director, Kay Kyungjoo Lee approached the new design for the 2nd Season of Younger, they knew they wanted a painted look. After several days of experimenting digitally it was decided that real world paint and paper might be the answer. With the collective skills of the TV Land in-house design and animation team contributing their talents old school, a borrowed stand camera and using Dragonframe software to capture frames along the way they have created a rich textured animated logo for Younger Season 2 premiering Wednesday, January 13, 10p on TV Land.

The Star Trek series, one of Paramount’s most iconic shows, has a loyal and passionate fan base. The strong dedication of fans almost feels like a kind of religious devotion. To capture this feeling, I wanted to add a touch of religious imagery by using stained glass—a symbol often seen in Catholicism—to show the Star Trek logo. This approach highlights the respect and admiration fans have for the series in a visual way.
For Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, we teamed up with talented artists and agencies worldwide, including teams from Ireland, India, New Zealand, the US, China, Brazil, Uruguay, and our in-house team at Paramount+. Together, we created something truly unique and collaborative.
100 Best Places You’ve Never Been is a 30-second series of commercials on TV Land, where each week, a great travel destination in the U.S. is recommended, along with a featured sponsor’s product. The 30-second spot includes a 3-second opening graphic. Instead of using the same opener for every episode, we decided to create a unique opening graphic tailored to each destination.
Since the title is quite long, I designed a rectangular logo to encase the text, giving it the appearance of an actual logo. The rectangular shape animates by wrapping around the words “100 Best Places,” symbolizing the act of traveling.
The background is personalized for each episode by incorporating a specific image related to the featured destination. By using elements such as floors, walls, or natural environments, the background gives a subtle hint about the location, sparking curiosity in viewers. Additionally, shadows were added to the background to provide another clue about the destination, while also suggesting ideal weather for travel.
However, the challenge was time. Creating a new opening graphic for each episode every week was not feasible. To solve this, I pre-rendered the 3D logo animation in After Effects with adjustable color grading. For the background, I used an image and transferred the Camera Null information from C4D to After Effects, allowing for quick and easy editing, making it accessible for anyone to work on.
