Respect The Chemistry.

I love Breaking Bad, it's an awesome TV show that keeps you on your toes through every episode. I started to doodle the characters at first then it turned into a mini project which finally got developed into a finished product - A3 posters/prints.

I made a list of items that made an impact in the show such as the moth image on the methylamine barrels, the purple teddy plus the fly. I linked up certain items with each characters and tried out a few ideas and compositions.

I wanted to bring in the pack of cards theme into the design as a way of identifying the characters seeing as I wanted to use Walter & Heisenberg (which if you watch the show, you will know that they are the same person). Another reason I wanted the playing card idea was for the spade symbol which represents the death card - the ace of spades. The minimal use of black and shades of primary colours also pays homage to picture cards.



I limited the posters to 100 of each design, which I personally signed & numbered on the back of each print.
