The Terminal Man

Monday, 25th May 2009

The last week or two has been a bit hectic, but I’ve managed to complete one short project - Demo-Graphics - and have begun another one. The current project takes as it’s inspiration the cover of a secondhand book I picked up in a church in Cambridge. The book is called The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton, and far from being interested in the story (which I’m sure I’ll enjoy nonetheless), it was the cover illustration I was attracted by. There’s a little window in the jacket, through which you can see an illustration much like my reproduction to the left. The book was published in 1973 and it has quite a bold, simple illustrative style. I’m going to try and translate that into a short animation, maybe incorporating the original font.
