01MAY17 // H&H :: Prospect :: Type Treatments

There are two main kanji in Prospect – an elegant ancient formal language and the machine type. Machine type is for digital displays and anything that the common folk would read. The formal language would be used in logos and unreadable by average citizens. Here are some of our typographic experimentations using the machine type and Photoshop.

17APR17 // H&H :: Prospect – Cee's Pod Manual, ToC & Cover Design

Cee's Pod Manual Design

Cee’s Pod Manual Brief Proposal: (NOT APPROVED)

This is a rental vehicle, Damon isn’t familiar with it and has never piloted one before. It’s supposedly idiot-proof, instructions are functional and dense. The manual is as old as the vessel and has been updated over time by both the corporate rental office and renters who have added printed and hand-written hacks and fixes, annotating the book as original parts are replaced with improvised parts over time. The manual has been battered and coffee stained. 

There might also be extra papers stuck inside, renter’s contract, receipts. A tabbing system similar to Nuclear Procedural Manuals helps the pilot or copilot quickly navigate to the section they need (“takeoff” / “landing” / “fueling” / “thruster repair”) and within those are decision trees. 

The binding is either screw-post, bolted, or rubber band bound  

Storage Pouch Dimensions: 12x16”

Tentative Manual Dimensions: 9x6” Vertical

Detach launch sequence (as described by Zeek) 

• Checklist, book fits in pocket to left of dashboard
• Prep flight cartridge stored in the back, fill with Gell
• Punches in sequence based on hand written coordinates taped above monitor, screen fades up, heats up to full brightens
• Small adjustments / priming for launch
• Detach from freighter (pull heavy plug) 
• Float off before gaining autonomous control, pre-atmosphere flip hits rough space, corrects the malfunction and initiates the parachute

Environmental Graphic Design meets Branding

In selecting what collateral to make for a rebrand of the Ark Lodge Cinema in Colombia City, I thought it would be fun (and on-brand) to produce promotional giveaway fridge magnets to the attendees of "Dark Lodge," a monthly late-night movie, usually a cult classic or B-film (think Rocky Horror or Clue). Using the Illustrator to draw the facade of the movie theater (a retrofitted freemason lodge and glove factory!), and then Rhino (the software used for rendering architecturally accurate buildings in EGD) to extrude the drawing and make it watertight for 3D printing with glow-in-the-dark filament. Rubber cement to adhere a magnetic backing and voila!
