ART DIRECTION–WORK TO INFORM AND DELIGHT
Written by planetary scientist and Mars Institute mission leader Dr. Pascal Lee, Mission Mars is the first comprehensive nonfiction title for younger readers that skimps neither in facts, details, nor fun. The interactive experience online had to follow this principle and immerse the young visitor into the realm of outer space exploration. I conceptualized the website from an "I'm there" perspective, looking out into the vastness of the Martian landscape with his two astronaut companions in the distance, centering the video-diary content in a handheld tablet that a potential mars explorer might use on their mission.
