PAIGE & JUSTIN:
I’m Paige, and I’m Justin
PAIGE:
We’re Phantom City Creative
JUSTIN:
and this is how we create posters for the show,
JUSTIN:
"For All Mankind."
PAIGE:
I love the premise of the show:
PAIGE:
This group of women going into space
PAIGE:
reaching a goal together, and being successful.
JUSTIN:
I love space. I’m a big nerd.
JUSTIN:
Once we learned the show was about
JUSTIN:
if the space race had gone different I was immediately in.
JUSTIN:
The image that really inspired us was
PAIGE:
this amazing view of the women on the tarmac.
PAIGE:
this amazing view of the women on the tarmac.
JUSTIN:
We’ll start in a sketchbook: really messy little thumbnail sketches.
PAIGE:
Oftentimes we’ll have a few pages.
JUSTIN:
Then we move on to our favorites in a sketch form.
PAIGE:
We take a photo of them, bring them into the iPad Pro
PAIGE:
We start with line art, color roughs,
PAIGE:
choosing our colors, composition, moving things around
JUSTIN:
And then we start the final art.
PAIGE:
To be period accurate was really important to us.
PAIGE:
We didn’t want to have anything that wasn’t represented in the show.
JUSTIN:
We don’t want to do anything halfway.
JUSTIN:
We don’t want to do release anything that’s not our absolute-best work.
JUSTIN:
If you get to a point in a poster where everything has a purpose,
JUSTIN:
then it’s done.
