Erin Round 29: SciFi School

For my Ingenuity Fest SciFi Fair poster, I got to work with Brittney Traywick who had some exciting ideas about the future of education in Cleveland. This scene illustrates a physics classroom, where the instructor uses holograms as teaching tools. Thanks Brittney for such an awesome idea!

The work is done in Adobe Illustrator, with lots of added textures. It was completed while I had the flu, so even though there are some things I would tweak, I am just thilled I managed to finish it at all!

Tim, Round 29: Sci-Fi Fair

My poster for "Ingenuity" illustrating an eighth grade girls idea of a future where retail stores are connected by a series of subterranean tubes, in which a consumer can access products from all over the city using a single location. Oh and the coolest part is that it's powered by Bio-Engineered trees that collect solar energy and distribute power across the grid, pretty sweet idea.

Round 29: Cleveland's Time Machine

Naomi and I talked for a while about this concept, and how she thinks I look like Spider Man.

Let's say you're driving down the street and a dog runs in front of you.  You swerve to miss it, but accidentally run over a little girl and kill her. Today you might have to go to jail for a mistake, but in the future, you can fix that horrible mistake!  

Plead your case and If the judge believes it, then it's back in tiiiiiime with you!

Yknow.  Like the song. The song that's been in my head all week as I drew this. 

Round 29: Rapid Cleveland

I had the fortune to work on Katerra Moore's concept on how to make public transportation better in EVERY respect.  In essence, Miss. Moore wish is to make public transportation more efficient, cleaner, more comfortable, safe and free to the public.  How do you show all of that in one image without having a giant info graphic full of little info graphics?  Show a brilliant future Cleveland where all of this exists!  Sell a better future full of the progress promised by the atomic age but progress that will be DELIVERED by Katerra Moore and the Renewable Energy Age!


For those who I am sure can't read the small text:
Comfort:
 More passenger and cargo space, light reactive windows and in-seat, multichannel video system to make your ride more comfortable.

Safety:
Greater Driver visibility, antilock breaks, run flat tires, passenger air bags and an active safety system makes sure you get safely from point A to point B.

Service:
Thanks to wind, solar and water power we are able to supply Cleveland with transportation FREE to the public!

Round 29: Sci Fi Fair!!

Our friends at Ingenuity Cleveland  have devised a fiendish scheme: pair Cleveland area science students with Professionals in the Arts and Science and see what happens!  Students at Whitney M. Young School were asked for their ideas that might transform the future for the better, shepherded by local Scientists, Engineers, City Planners to hone these idea and finally introduced to Artists (us!) to help bring their ideas to life!

In advance of Ingenuity Cleveland's annual Ingenuity Fest (Sept 14-16), a celebration of Arts and Sciences, we present the fruits of our Sci Fi Fair labor.  Stay tuned!
