3b TABLE INITIAL RESEARCH DISPLAY TASK


Through research into current space transportation development and scientific endeavors, we had been interested in the space elevator concept. We were curious about its founding conception by the Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsly and found it interesting that such a futuristic and crazy sounding theory had its foundations back in the late 1800s!

By collecting our individual books on Space we were able to collate our initial ideas and areas to look into further. We loved the iconic imagery within the books, the photographic imagery being exciting to reference and the propaganda style imagery from the Soviet Space dogs book brought forth a contrasting graphic iconography. Futuristic and retro imagery were mixing on the table and we saw a major development idea in applying one to the other.

Within our refined table display (below), we picked up on our specific areas of interest: the future visualisation of the space elevator concept, the 'space race' between major countries, retro space memorabilia and the propaganda style postcard and poster imagery/typography.


Playing around with cut outs and layering with our research imagery


Could we make our own badge designs using these shapes?
