The making of the cover for Futurology. 21st Century: Immortality or Global Catastrophe by Alexey Turchin and Mikhail Batin

Making the first sketches about futurology, future and technical progress.

The client makes his choice.

Choosing a model.

Masha it will be. Preparing a sketch and showing it to the client.

The client doesn’t approve. He likes neither the grid, nor the editing. So we continue working. The designer draws a grid that looks like “a fractal structure with electronic conductors between molecules” that symbolizes “total control over a person both in micro- and macrocosms achieved through modern technologies.”

Finalizing the grid, editing photos, handwriting the title.
