Art Direction of the “Big Future” Mural

 
Students of Strelka Institute and illustrators of Bang! Bang! agency were working together for over a month to create this massive mural (30 meters wide and 5 meters tall). The project is aimed to describe and visualize trends that will impact our life in the next century.
Such ambitious and complex artwork implied huge amount of diversity in details yet integrity as a whole. 11 teams came up with different sets of trends and stories which had to be stitched together. Each piece was collaged independently with every artist's unique style while all student teams had its own approach to expressing their ideas. So art director's task was to bring all that together, setting the rules, providing initial layout of the pieces according to a special grid, supervising the creation process itself and directing the final composing. The perfect end result required seamless integration of all the stories and artistic styles into one continuous landscape with a number of accents and centers of composition.
