This poster is another that I am really happy with the visuals for, but could have benefitted from more time spent on the idea formulation and concept. Hidden Figures is about three African American women who served as vital components at NASA in the early 1960s, having a massive hand in kicking off the space race and having humanity set foot on a surface not on Earth for the first time in history. Being both black and female in the 60s gave these women a massive disadvantage starting out in pursuing careers as rocket scientists, as maths and science have always been perceived as "man's work". I used the image of the gaping view of an astronaut helmet to convey the broad horizons of these women, but also the lack of identity they faced and still sometimes today are denied in a lack of recognition. Using a simplified version of the NASA logo, I wanted to communicate the aspiration of the women, but this idea I don't feel was fleshed out enough. This is definitely a design I'd like to revise and strengthen the idea behind if I was to move any further forward with it.
