yusuf / cat stevens
I provided graphic design for two music videos for yusuf / cat stevens' reimagining of his classic songs 'tea for the tillerman' and 'wild world'.
'tea for the tillerman'

This stop-motion style animation was rooted in a storybook world, and we wanted subtitles that would fit this. I opted for an entirely invented font; drawing out every letter by hand, and adding in swirls and flourishes. By doing this in pen, rather than at a computer, the text maintains a slightly awkward, unfinished look that reflects the hand made feel of the video.
'wild world'

For this reimagining of the famous song, the director wanted hand drawn titles reminiscent of a film noir or something from the 1950s. My approach was a lyrical, hand drawn design with a bold drop-shadow that evoked the feeling of those old movies.
this video was broadcast at Glastonbury in 2023, and consequently seen by millions of people at once!
