Recently acclaimed film graphic designer Gina Alessi revealed how she led the graphic design team within the art department of Manhunt crafting the world of Manhunt for Apple TV+, a period drama about the hunt for Abraham Lincoln's assassin.
The project required hundreds of graphic designs, creating and recreating era perfect wallpapers, posters and signage as well as books, carpets and even the blanket Lincoln died on. You can see more of this work on Gina's portfolio website, as well as work on other productions for Netflix and FX, for shows including American Horror Story, Euphoria and The OA.
The detail of Gina's work is exacting, so I wanted to find out a little more about how a typical day plays out to create this much art for film and TV. Below Gina explains her day and offers advice for anyone wanting to follow in her footsteps.
