Overview
The U.S. Surgeon General's first podcast, created to help bring America together around real health stories, words and wisdom from the Surgeon General, and content from experts.
During my time at the U.S. Office of the Surgeon General, I led an effort for creating a brand and visual language for the office's first-ever podcast series. The series is now out on Spotify for streaming.
I worked through a brand direction inspired by historical elements from Vivek's past experiences as Surgeon General, turning them into collage elements juxtaposed with bright color and explosive-type treatments. The end result evokes new hope for the SG's legacy.
During the end of the project and close to the launch of the podcast, I created a series of MOGRTs in After Effects that powered an animated trailer with a voice-over from Vivek. These templates allowed designers and videographers to easily adjust the timing and composition of the flow of the animation at will for easier collaboration between my process and theirs. I also created podcast cover creation tools in a design system in Figma.
