The Almighty Johnsons

The Almighty Johnsons was brought to Syfy via New Zealand where it proved to be a hit, the show follows the Johnson boys, four typical brothers who inherited the power of Norse Gods. The Johnson brothers are just everyday Gods with everyday struggles – searching for love, overcoming sibling rivalry and fulfilling their God-like destiny. I tried to retain a bit of comedy in the 2 directions presented.

Designed 2 directions for the broadcast packaging with it’s accompanying styleframes. The ‘Ethereal God-ray’ direction was selected to represent the Almighty Johnsons.

Process & Development
Alt. Option – Storm Direction

This one was a bit darker with a dust-stormy treatment. I wanted to retain a bit of comedy to this so tried to invoke my best Mothy Python homage in this direction. Hopefully you see a little of that in this one.
