Design Brief

Create a magazine spread for an article titled "Are the Planets Inhabited?"


Inspiration

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by space exploration (I am a proud Space Camp graudate!). I took inspiration from a 1950's space race/retro aesthetic that can be found at one of my favorite hotels, Cabana Bay Beach Resort, as well as inspiration from a television obsession of my childhood, The X-Files. I knew a UFO had to be included somehow!

With that imagery in my head, I wanted to display them in an unexpected way. No dark, Star Trek, racing through the galaxy motif. I was inspired by magazine spreads that were airy, fresh, and had bright colors.
