Andy Potts – BBC Science Focus

Andy‘s new animated cover illustration for BBC Science Focus’ latest issue on the theme of First Contact and what happens if we discover an extra terrestrial signal.

The brief was to visualise this alien message with a silhouetted onlooker in a spartan night time landscape. Andy’s design was inspired by scenes from Contact, Arrival and Close Encounters.
