ART DIRECTION | ASSET CREATION | DIGITAL COMPOSITING (FULL PIPELINE)

This personal project is a visual sister piece to my Moriana project. The spark for this universe came from Georges Méliès, the French illusionist who essentially invented sci-fi cinema. I wanted to capture that exact energy: the romance of early, tactile special effects mixed with a cold, futuristic edge. It’s an exploration of a space that feels part lunar blueprint, part dreamscape. To make sure the final pieces didn't feel sterile, the workflow was intentionally messy and tactile before it ever hit the screen. I began by collecting and creating raw, physical assets, pencil sketches, hand-drawn numbers, and textured graphite rubs. Dust, grain, and physical smudges were scanned in to strip away the "perfect" edge of digital design. In Photoshop, I layered, masked, and collaged these analog elements together. I wanted to create a sense of physical friction, giving the final digital images the weight and grit of an archival print.

[ THE CONCEPT ]

"I stuck to high-contrast black and white to lean into that early cinema look. Stripping away color keeps the focus entirely on the raw textures and shapes."

[ Paula Scher's Quote — Pentagram Partner & Legendary Typographer ]

"You need to be able to ride past the technology by understanding what it can do, who you are, and where you want to take it. You don't want technology to lead you; you want to lead it."
