Space adventure! (Zine – Research)

Wanted to do illustration.

Wanted to do a story about space.

So decided to work with illustrator and indesign, creating vector illustrations to tell a story about space.

My main reference:

artwork by: Riccardo Zema

Liked the simple description of the objects but when put together provide a strong sense of composition and depth in the work.

Some other examples:

Then I had to capture the colours of the night sky/space. Below are some image references:

Liked the colour scheme of both skies. But felt that the blue-green one has a more calming feeling. So decided to go for that.

And there we have it:

Simple rules:

  1. Use vector art.
  2. Tell a story about space.

Best worst decision ever.

Refer to my other posts to know why. 🙂

Have a great day,

KJ
