Tucker Johnston, Creative Director / Designer
Tucker Johnston graduated from the
University of Kansas
with a BFA in Design, majoring in Computer Graphics.
He attended film school at the
University of Southern California
(in the "Universal Studios / U.S.C. Cinema Program") and studied under famed Warner Bros. film director,
Andre de Toth
(House of Wax, Springfield Rifle).
After graduating college, Tucker became an art director and property master in Hollywood, working on feature film and television productions for companies such as Walt Disney Pictures, Tri-Star, Playboy and PBS, working with such well-known personalites as Robert Mitchum, Lily Tomlin, Jerry Stiller, Robert Forster and Virginia Madsen.
During this time, Tucker art directed television commercials
and industrials for
Apple Computers, The Sharper Image, Hyundai
and
Hanna-Barbara
and art directed MTV music videos for groups including:
R.E.O. Speedwagon,
The Stray Cats, Blue Oyster Cult, The Manhattan Transfer
and
"Little Steven" Van Zant (guitarist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and Silvio on TV's "The Sopranos").
After gaining experience working on other' people's films, Tucker wrote and directed the dark-humored horror thriller, BLOOD SALVAGE , starring Ray Walston, John Saxon and Evander Holyfield. The film was nominated for Joe Bob Briggs' Drive-In Movie Academy's prestigious Golden Hubcap Award (for "Best Villian"). Tucker also co-wrote the screenplay for the best-selling erotic thriller, SECRET GAMES 3, starring Rochelle Swanson (the most successful of the SECRET GAMES film franchise).
In 1995, with major technological break-throughs in graphic design and digital imaging software, Tucker decided to turn his creative energies from film production to launching his own digital design studio in Kansas City. Since then, TUCKER JOHNSTON DESIGN (formerly Graphic Source) has been creating promotional designs and imagery for progressive small businesses around the country.
