Increasingly, clients want to design a pitch deck and a series bible simultaneously, and over time, this has morphed into a sort of a pitch deck-series bible hybrid. My approach is to design an image-heavy series bible first, then cut the content down to a pitch deck length. But, some clients decide to pitch with the bible, so to make it a hybrid, I treat the first six to eight pages like a pitch deck, then transition into the more content-heavy pages of a series bible; hence, pitch deck-series bible hybrid. 🙂

Artwork-wise, I treat most one-hour series as serious dramas, then go back in and add elements specific to their genres. For instance, this show has hints of black comedy, which I touch on in the cover art, with the crow swooping down toward the baby and the fire in the background. Another convention we use to make decks feel cohesive is to use a textured overlay throughout.

DIABLO CODY: “Madison Young goes deep and brings some universal truths to light.”

DAVE NAVARRO: “Provocative and Brave! I was drawn in by her intensity, sex appeal and willingness to break down some of the mysteries surrounding alternative lifestyles. Madison has the ability to blend these worlds while maintaining both eroticism and intellect.”
