Over the course of several weeks, I collaborated with the team at Filmograph to establish a unique graphic identity for the documentary series Murf the Surf, which delves into the life of the infamous surfer and jewel thief, Jack Roland Murphy. In addition to generating an array of potential designs for the visual style of the series, I also developed and animated a variety of graphic sequences, featuring hand-drawn maps and replicated typewritten letters.
