Artwork
“Atlanta’s Airport" illustrates the airport's evolution and the progression of aircraft styles over the past century through a series of drawings based on historical photos. While researching, I was particularly interested in the iconic looks of both the planes and the airport's landmarks of each era. My interest in cut-paper artwork and stop-motion style animation led to the look and feel of this piece, and it features a colorful palette that reflects a sense of optimism in looking toward the future. The portraits of William B. Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson are highlighted, celebrating their contributions to shaping our airport into what it is today.
