Objective

This composition was solely focused on the premise of the time change, allowing the viewer to see the progression through an isometric-style Mars map. Originally built in Illustrator, the goal of this design was to recreate an old illustration with a new set of tools. Upon completion of the poster, a motion piece was also developed to contribute to the story and sell an even more dynamic piece of work.

Overview

Prior to developing this poster key areas of research were explored. All these factors contributed to creating a rendition that best fit the plans for colonizing the red planet. Although mankind has yet to make this large leap, this composition was based primarily on the  Space X Colonization Plan. Depicting the spacecraft in use, and the equipment seen on the Martian surface, these models were simplified but overall contributed to adding a more dynamic story-driven layout.

Process

Colonizing a secondary planet is a massive undertaking, which mankind is currently on the path towards. Requiring many years of academic study to fully comprehend, this concept was deliberately designed with the intent to depict life on Mars. Using bright colours and a pleasant soundtrack to bring happiness to such an ominous journey.
