“Metal World Essentials”— named after Psyche’s slogan “Journey to a metal world”— is a layflat design of various objects related to the Psyche mission. As my first piece for Psyche Inspired, illustrating a poster with merchandise, models, and scientific instruments was a great way to familiarize myself to the mission. I was inspired by prop illustrations and other layflat designs, especially since there are many items associated with the mission. I thought that this would be a perfect introduction for others to catch a glimpse of what surrounds the mission. It was a little challenging to find objects that would fit in a small area, since a lot of the instruments involved in the making of Psyche were so big. Ultimately, I decided to go with two instruments— the spectrometer and multispectral imager— amongst other Psyche items that were introduced to me at the ASU Earth and Space Open House.
I made this piece digitally with Procreate using dry ink and half tone brushes for line art and fills. I love the simulated texture from these brushes and they give a nice “printed” feel to the poster! I also limited my palette to the official Psyche brand colors to challenge myself more and to further get that layered color feel of risograph printed posters. I hope this piece gets people curious about Psyche and its mission!
