An object at the scale of a landscape.
Overview
A personal illustration treating a pair of headphones as terrain, tiny figures working across a familiar object, lit like a night scene. The pleasure of the idea is the scale shift: the moment the viewer works out what they are looking at.
The challenge
Scale-shift illustration only works if the object stays instantly readable. Push the figures too large and it becomes a diagram; too small and the object stops being a world.
The approach
A dark, low-key palette with pooled light around each cluster of figures, so the eye finds the inhabitants first and the object second.
