Building UI for the deep future
Read MoreBased on the 1940’s short stories by Isaac Asimov, Foundation is an epic sci-fi series set in the year 12,067 E.I (Era Imperial). In it, a gifted mathematician, Dr. Hari Seldon and a small group of believers seek to preserve human knowledge and save civilization after he predicts the end of the Galactic Empire.
Creators Josh Friedman and David S. Goyer bring the stories to life, beautifully realising the complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire.
Working closely with playback and Art departments, Territory Studio was commissioned to design and deliver on-set screen graphics in-camera for screens and projections that feature in a number of sets throughout the first season, including those that feature in the spacecraft, Deliverance.
Inspired by Asimov’s original short stories, we created a visual language to underpin the graphics work and marry up with the set designs we had received. The fonts we created are a hybrid human-alien typeface, part familiar, part unusual.
