Human — The most personal story of all. Our Own
Human documents and explores our story. When Homo sapiens emerged in Africa we were not alone: there were at least six other human species alive at the time. Across five episodes, Human examines how we went from being just one of many types of human to the dominant form of life on the planet.
Challenge:
Position Human as an expansive, surprising, and accessible series that captivates a diverse audience.
Creative concept:
The Unlikely Survivors
Solution:
The key art centres on the last species standing — Homo sapiens — using the show’s 3D hero head model (Jebel Jahrod) alongside atmospheric footage of the six extinct
species on the horizon.
Blending the fantastical with the real, the visuals echo the series’ dreamy art direction.
The episodics stand alone while staying rooted in the same visual tone, combining episode specific concepts with a shared timeline aesthetic.
We updated the tagline to support the single minded message.
Role: Creative – Concept, design and art direction
