Stranger Things Main Title Sequence
Design
Concept and design for Netflix's Original Series Stranger Things Main Title Sequence. Inspired by the Altered States and Alien titles and Stephen King book covers from the 80s, the idea was to abstract horror and the feeling of fear - to evoke something monumental, terrifying, and strange, purely through typography. Included are some of the original storyboard process and early typographic explorations.
