Channel Zero Titles

This project is a tribute to one of my favorite graphic novels, Channel Zero by Brian Wood. The story takes place in a dystopian New York City, where the government has implemented a policy known as the Clean Act to sensor any and all media. With free speech no longer a luxury, a girl named Jenny starts a pirate TV station called 'Channel Zero'. I originally designed a title sequence with high hopes that someday this excellent book will be be adapted for television. It's themes and ideas are shockingly relevant in today's media landscape.

Stark black and white imagery pays tribute to the novels original artwork. A government propaganda copy line, also from the book, runs throughout the sequence and is built into the surrounding world. I chose this line because it establishes an uncompromising and perilous tone for what’s to come.
