Carl Sagan
The Pale Blue Dot

description
A large-scale poster (17" x 50") partially inspired by vintage woodcut posters. The poster contains an eclectic mix of typefaces, spelling out a famous excerpt from Cosmos by Carl Sagan, an astromoner and writer, and a personal hero of mine. The poster itself is dark blue, like the night sky, and the text is coloured in a gradient that goes from grey to blue to orange, like a sunset. The infamous "pale blue dot" is at the top of the poster, providing an early context for the viewer before they understand that the dot represents Earth.
