Creative company Imaginary Forces (IF) releases the main title for Hulu’s Candy, focusing heavily on type and design.
Nodding to the graphic elements of “Housewife” instruction manuals from the 1980s, CD Ronnie Koff set a haunting tone in the titles for Hulu’s series Candy.
The main title for Candy sets the table for an 80’s homemaker who is turning up the heat.
“Inspired by Rube Goldberg’s machines, we built the housewife trope narrative around the type,” says Ronnie Koff. Words that once stuck to the page, fall before the next scene to convey how the daily upkeep of being the perfect housewife led to Candy’s world collapsing.
With a custom soundtrack and retro color scheme, what feels like a brief sequence becomes a captivating and unconventional story structure. “We stripped the traditional title sequence techniques to their simplistic form,” says Koff.
