Syd Mead is an American industrial designer and concept artist behind some of the most iconic science fiction films in the past century (Blade Runner 2049, Tron, Aliens), and so much more. His ability to craft immersive, transformative, and electrifying worlds has left an undeniable impact on the world of science fiction and visual storytelling.
In this multimedia project, I created different artifacts to capture the heart of his work and legacy. The goal was to unite my personal design voice with Mead's, celebrating his contributions and influence through a design system.
