NASA poster

As one of my client projects at school, I got to design a poster for NASA surrounding the theme of supernovas and organizing an event around such a celestial phenomenon. It should be noted that NASA wasn't officially my client.

Concepts

After expansive research into NASA's visuals as well as the visuals of other companies and organizations, I began developing concepts of my own.

Concept 1 - festival

As part of my research, I looked into how festivals organized their event. Festivals like Burning Man, for example. I was thinking about designing a poster announcing a festival where people would gather for music, food, community, and the ultimate show of a supernova.

Concept 2 - filmposter

While researching NASA, I quickly discovered they built a whole librabry of stunning posters throughtout the years. Some of these posters are stylized in such a way that they look like classic horrormovie posters. In this idea, people would come together to watch a movie about supernovas and learn about it.

Concept 3 - space excursion

Space tourism is still extremely niche and up and coming, however that could very well change in the future. My futuristic idea was that NASA would organize a space excursion in light of a supernova. People would be able to watch the spectacle from a safe distance in outer space.

Ultimately the client picked the filmposter idea as the one they wanted to see realized, so I got to working.

I made three poster concepts, of which the client picked the one on the left. With this choice made, I began rendering and polishing it further.

Experimenting with tagline fonts. The placement of the tagline eventually changed as well.
