Artist's Comments

A politically themed propaganda poster I designed in my Production class Fall 08. I chose the subject of space exploration, and wanted to promote it's longevity in the United States, despite our economic situation. Initially I knew I wanted to steer clear of that Norman Rockwell-esque style often referenced in propaganda posters (Uncle Sam anyone?). So the style is Art Nouveau, and the type treatment is Victorian.

I did a lot of research in preparation for this piece. Several quotes I ran across were particularly striking so I incorporated them into my design. While I was working on it I couldn't help but think of it as the cover of an old newspaper.

Really like the style. The stars in the head are mesmerising. :)

Why thank you! Yes, those are the stars of the famous Eagle Nebula- one of my favourites.

Thanks for your thoughts.

The quote is actually star-stuff, said by the late astronomer Carl Sagan himself. Check it out on youtube if you like: [link]
