Project Overview
Educational and humorous, The History of Swear Words makes a loud entrance on Netflix with a profane cultural examination of taboo linguistics. With someone as iconic and brazen as Nicolas Cage as host, we had a good idea of the offbeat, eclectic tone for the show.
I developed and designed a concept which juxtaposes a rigid grid system with chaotic yet humorous graphics. This visually illustrates how the weight of each curse word pushes and pulls against the grid. We found punny, playful opportunities to break the rules of the grid while also creating offbeat vignettes housed within.
