"The Nod"

Turner Broadcasting System approached me to create a PSA to show their alliance and support of the black community.

If you’re a black person out in public and you see another black person approaching you, it’s an unspoken rule that we give each other “The Nod.” This motion is a literal nod of one’s head towards another. A somewhat intimate gesture showing that I see and acknowledge you, as a form of friendship and comradery.

We flipped The Nod on its head, and showed that it doesn’t apply to only black people, but to all people.

In addition to "The Nod", Turner also wanted to create two animated spots that they could air on all their affiliate networks showing their support with the black community. These were designed and animated by myself.
