ART 260: Introduction to Graphic Design
Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
I decided to watch “The Martian” because it is a sci-fi movie, which is not a genre I particularly watch. While watching the movie I noticed that there were a lot of red, yellow, and orange colors used throughout the film. For this project, I decided to limit my use of these colors to just red, white, blue, and grey. After all, Mars is the Red Planet. To imitate the rigid, red surface of Mars, I took a landscape photo that I had taken of some footprints in fresh snow and added a reddish-brown filter over the photo to give the impression that a rover had been moving about. I felt that the tagline “Everywhere I go I am the first”-from the Mark Watney character- worked well with the graphic of a rover moving about.
