I created a sketch by brainstorming ideas for what my poster could be. I thought of different activities that you would do when on a regular holiday. I considered; swimming, flying, sunbathing etc, however a lot of these I had already noticed that were on the NASA space travel posters so I wanted to go for something I hadn’t come across on one of their posters.
I went for the regular ‘activity’ of pulling a suitcase. I went through the steps of a holiday on earth – Packing for the holiday, travelling, going through the airport, all the way up to getting to the hotel.
Because this was a space advert, it only made sense to have the person pulling the suitcase to be an astronaut. But I didn’t want to use the generic spaceman suit so I took my inspiration from the Scooby Doo movie, ‘Moon Monster Madness’.
In order to complete my drawing I found an image of a man pulling a suitcase and merged these two images together to create my astronaut pulling the suitcase. And then simply drew the shape of a planet and shaded it in.
I am very happy with this drawing although I didn’t actually end up using this as part of my poster. I swayed more towards a camping style poster as glamping huts look quite futuristic. I may use this idea in the future but I doubt it.
