The Circus

For the third season of Showtime's docuseries, The Circus, we wanted to tease out the new season in a completely different way than in previous years.

Since its a weekly show using in the moment news coverage, there weren't any clips to pull from, so we knew the teaser had to be completely graphic. Infographics and political charts made the most sense as a starting point for the visual language.

The result is an organized, yet whimsical take on the often chaotic and frenzied reality of our political process.
