DirecTV Plus introduced a new feature that let users record up to 100 hours and build their own channel lineup. The challenge was to make a feature that sounded like a user manual feel engaging.
Two cultural icons from completely different worlds were brought together in a single image: Marge Simpson in American Beauty’s most iconic scene. The concept was captured in one line: “Mix them as you want to.”
I led the art direction for the entire campaign, from selecting the cinematic reference to integrating Marge Simpson into the scene while matching lighting, perspective, scale, and final retouching. The most critical creative decision was color: placing Marge's yellow silhouette against saturated red roses created the exact contrast needed for immediate recognition while preserving the visual atmosphere of American Beauty.
