Bryan Versteeg is the creative force behind Deep Space Industries and the guy who makes all of their digital 3D illustrations of the space probes and stations that the organisation releases. His also the founder of SpaceHabs and does work for a number of other clients in the space exploration business.
I thought that it would be great to get in touch with him and try to find out how he got involved in designing stuff for all these amazing organisations and see if he could have a look at my own ideas. Here is the email that I sent to him, I left my website off because I was paranoid that I would get caught in spam filters:
Hello Bryan,
I am a student graphic designer in my third year at Leeds
College of Art, England. Having finished a dissertation project on graphic
designs role in the space race I have been looking up modern day creatives
operating in the space industry, which lead me to your site. I'm really into
the work you're doing, especially the projects for space habitats; that area
where science fiction meets our near future reality really fascinates me.
I understand that it takes years of experience and operating
in industry to get to where you are currently. I thought I would take the
opportunity to ask advice on how I, as a soon to be graduating graphic
designer, could get involved with the space industry?
On another note, as part of my studies I have been working
on a conceptual logo rebrand for Deep Space Industries as well as a few ideas
for mission insignia and markers. If you are interested it would be great to
show you some of these, the feedback would be invaluable for the development of
my work, especially from someone involved with the company.
Thanks for your time, best regards,
Luke.
