I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

FINAL PIECE IDEA





I will be attempting to build a fully black box which will include a laptop playing all the videos i have made. on the other side of the box will be a small peep hole which the viewer looks through. there will also be some of the futuristic forms i made inside. ideally due to the fact that they are reflective they should reflect any light from the video, thus creating some atmosphere. My concept will be physically looking into my view of the future/world of tomorrow.

VISIT THE WORLD OF TOMORROW




ENJOY, RELAX IN AND EXPLORE THE FUTURE!
Some more promotional posters promoting the World of Tomorrow. Due to the fact that i have been looking at alot of of retro-futuristic imagery and work I decided it would be a good idea to combine both vintage and futuristic imagery, colours and composition to make some sort of fusion of posters promoting the future almost as if it were a holiday destination.

THE WORLD OF TOMORROW




These are some updated versions of my promotional posters. I decided to seperate the text slightly as it would make it clearer to read as well it does not obstruct the image behind it.

TV NOISE STILLS





Could noise replace the sky we see?

LAVA

I have been thinking about the idea / concept of portraying visions of what i think the planet could look like in the very distant future. Through time natural forms will change in many different ways and I will be testing and exploring how the properties, aesthetics, textures and sounds can be altered.

VIDEO IDEA (PROJECTED WITH FORMS)

EXPERIMENTATION WITH COLOUR AND COLLAGE

Here i tried out a ripped collage idea involving my scanned in universe pictures and some foil. i also wanted to see how this looked my my designed typeface so i picked a relevant quote from the film 2010: The Year We Made Contact.





Im hoping this wlll help me think about composition for any book covers that i design.

REBRANDING




Here I have attempted to give two of Arthur C. Clarkes a new look.

BENBO GEORGE




I have recently come across Benbo George who is a graphic designer and illustrator, originally from the Wirral, Merseyside. He produces beautiful, futuristic collages using old OMNI magazines as inspiration. These will definitely inspire me for my own collages.

VINCENT FOURNIER

Some work by photographer Vincent Fournier. i love all his work due to the fact that they are so clean and mainly based on very scales. i especially am interested in his space series, just beautiful...


MONOLITH





After development work in my sketchbook i came up with some sort of design for my own monolith/form. unlike the one in A Space Odyssey i imagined it to be made up of silver shards. in these photos i wanted it to look like it was in its natural environment so i made some rocks and smaller forms to stand with.

MAN FROM ANOTHER PLANET (RETRO)



Here is my attempt at a retro-futuristic image. i am trying to make it look rather dated and old fashioned with the use of the 'tacky' foil helmet. My inspiration came from an old image i found with two figures dressed like this rather than just one. However i decided to but my man in some sort of spacey environment using some universe pictures i had scanned in.
