An in class project to design a new billboard for NASA. The globe of the Earth was rendered in Lightwave 3d using image and topography maps from NASA’s Blue Marble project. I then incorporated the rendering into NASA’s “meatball” logo which was replaced in 1975 with the more modern looking “worm” logo—which personally is my favourite—only to be replaced again in 1992 with the original meatball logo which is the official NASA logo today. The billboard was designed in Illustrator.
To show approximately how the billboard would look in real life situations I used Photoshop to place it into the two photographs also shown here.
