This poster design is split into three sections. The left and right panels are landscape renders of different theories about what Psyche looks like. The center section is a wireframe visualization of the 3D terrain of Psyche, indicating that we do not really know what Psyche looks like. The intention is to build anticipation for finally finding out the true appearance of the asteroid.

What Will We Discover?

About the Work:

My poster, titled “What We Might Discover”, showcases the mystery surrounding the exact appearance of Psyche’s surface. The left and right side of the poster are each an interpretation of current theories about what Psyche looks like. While the center panel represents how we will not know for sure what the asteroid looks like until the Psyche spacecraft arrives. The purpose of the project is to build anticipation for finally finding out the true appearance of the asteroid. My main inspiration was the work of Peter Rubin, who created one of the most popular artistic representations of Psyche’s surface. To create my artwork I used Blender to procedurally model the shape I wanted for Psyche’s landscape, then combined the renders in photoshop to finalize the poster design.
