Design Competition Submission: Future of Many Suns

 

Innovate Grants — Call for Artists + Photographers 2021

Concept: “A hopeful vision of the future”

Due: March 31st,

Target Audience: Futurists and dreamers

Intended format: Digital 

Intended medium: Digital

Intended adobe applications: Photoshop and Illustrator


For my design competition I here present, "Future of Many Suns," a vision of a far-off land in humanity's future. We see an alien sky filled with stars and planets as of yet (circa 2021) unmapped, and the foreground shows a Martian-ish landscape with giant fungi habitats being grown there. This was based on NASA's ongoing project to engineer fungal habitats for future colonization of Mars and the moon. An optimistic view of a planet's earliest human hosting.
I shared this with family and friends, but the people available at such short notice didn't know much about art or design, so they just said they liked it, and pointed out places where I could really polish it to a shine, places where the white locked background was showing through, and places that needed a little more texture, like the planets on the far right, which originally came out looking unnaturally smooth compared to the others. Honestly, I think that was probably the part I needed the most attention drawn, as I've been a little reckless with the final polishes in past assignments, and it's good to have someone hold your foot to the fire once in a while.
