The theatrics of American science has become the driving force for my poster ideas, as to differentiate this from my postcards but also keep the theme consistent I want to explore Tesla's ideas that didn't come about, such as robot slaves and this "peace ray" that's definitely certainly a death ray.
I've also been researching old circus posters as that freakshow element is definitely present in some of the ideas Tesla never finished, as a lot of it sounds like something out of (and has inspired a lot of) science fiction. The composition of these posters is also something I enjoy as it's sort of an early form of graphic design and I'd like to see how that aesthetic could work in conjunction with my own work, as it is a form of arrangement I havent fully explored before.
Plus I'd probably rather see a death ray at a circus than a polar bear on a seesaw. (Now I'm visualising polar bear vs death ray, its late).
