As lead designer on this campaign leading up to the premiere of the A&E mini-series, Stephen King’s Bag of Bones, I was responsible for designing a website and a book showcasing Joachim Ladefoged’s photographs of the characters who inhabit the town of Dark Score Lake, where Bag of Bones takes place.

To engage Stephen King fans, over 100 artifacts—references to King’s stories—were placed into the photographs. Some were physical props placed into the scenes on location; others were created digitally and composited into the shots, like the album covers seen in the music store.
