Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s Search for a Kool Place

Main titles for Alex Gibney's documentary film about the movement of the 60's where Ken Kesey and his "Merry Band of Pranksters" decided to go on an LSD-infused roadtrip. Created a lo-fi, analog aesthetic to portray original and psychedelic visuals to enhance the mood of the film.

Role: Design + Animation

Made an alphabet from Kesey’s handwritten letters

“Letraset” type to give it a hand-made feel — *“Letraset”* type to give it a hand-made feel

My lettering adaptations from Kesey’s style
