My social problem: space debris. I have a personal interest in space, and therefore I knew this was a problem. But through my research I discovered the enormous amount of space debris actually floating around the Earth. I wanted to depict its quantity in my design. The workshop I followed during this module entitled “Bits en Betekenis”, where we used AI to make our poster (hence the title "A bit like..."). Using AI, I generated a wide veriety of images. At first, the created images were very literal: showing the earth with junk floating around it, but I wanted something different. By experimenting with different promps, I eventually got an abstract image of the Earth in a dotted art style. At this point I decided to make the poster completely abstract, with multiple images of dotted art, each photo representing a specific amount of space junk.
The final poster consists of 88 photos, each with a large circle, representing the Earth, surrounded by or filled with a large number of dots.
