Campaign Overview

King of the Apocalypse takes us into the heart of the American militia movement with Dakota Adams, the de-radicalized son of Stewart Rhodes – founder of the Oath Keepers who is now serving 18 years in prison for his role on January 6. With exclusive access to Rhodes and framed by the unique perspective of his estranged family, we tell the story of the enigmatic militant leader’s origins, his turbulent family life, and his descent into paranoia and extremism. In my role as a designer, I designed and created the key art. In the latter stages, served as art director and oversaw the retouching process as well as the campaign delivery.
