AMERICAN HISTORY X chronicles the life of two brothers, Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) a powerful and influential neo-Nazi skinhead, and Danny (Edward Furlong), his younger and impressionable brother.

For the VHS/DVD cover art, the studio wanted to emphasize both brothers, rather than just Norton (as seen in the theatrical one-sheet). Working on video is interesting, because you are coming into a project at a later stage. Poster artwork has already been made -- it becomes a rethink of something that has already been explored by others before you.

The final art is relatively unchanged from my initial design, including the copy line I wrote: SOME LEGACIES MUST END. I posterized the faces and tinted them red to suggest the neo-Nazi storyline. The title is large for impact. It's a rare occasion when a title runs up and down, as clients tend to shy away from that.
