Loss of Signal

Description

Loss of Signal is an artwork project culminating in a book cover design. The development of the project started with the artwork, the book idea was used to explain the ideas behind the artwork. The “blurb” for the back of the novel, written below this description, furthers the concept.

The artwork was created to express a number of themes. These included the feeling of being in extreme landscapes, the way the land forces visitors to adapt. Remoteness was another theme, not only that of the uninhabited land but the setting being on a far away world where being unable to send messages (loss of signal) means being cut off from civilisation. Danger and mystery were expressed by the explorers finding the vast crashed starship. Every aspect of the design was intended to convey these themes throughout the project from book cover graphics to promotional artwork.

This is an artwork project and so the novel unfortunately does not exist.

Superb and scary work here sir - it symbolizes the classic blurb of out of the frying pan and into the fire.

The person has escaped but now how does one survive....

Shame the book is a goner - but at least we have a remnant in the art :)
