Today we had the great pleasure of speaking with Sean Scoffield, Graphic Designer on The Handmaid’s Tale.

Sean is the one of the primary masterminds behind the entire written language of Gilead, which is no small feat. In this unique dystopian society, Sean had the challenge of creating store fronts, store interiors, road signs and so much more without using a single word, because the handmaids aren’t allowed to read. He also designs the many logos of Gilead from the Eyes to Birthmobiles to Gilead’s recent fertility center in Season 5. But maybe our favorite graphic design project was the picture itinerary Serena was handed when she visited Toronto in Season 2. Once again, there is so much work that goes into the brilliant details that make this show what it is, and we learned about yet another fascinating job in that world today!

This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through Season 5, Episode 10.

And since you enjoy Sean’s work so much, be sure to take alook at all the other shows in which you can see his work on his IMDB! And please come find us on Instagram if you haven't yet ⁠@tht_abovethegarage
