Andy Potts / BBC Science Focus / Biggest Breakthroughs of the Century
Andy Potts has illustrated a cover for the New Year 2025 issue of BBC Science Focus. The commission was a quick turnaround with a brief based on the concept of the Biggest Breakthroughs of the Century and required an esoteric creative visual with some bold typography. Andy worked quickly on a series of first roughs and a monochrome visual of a sphere with light ‘breaking through’ was chosen to develop. Andy worked with art director Joe Eden on various type treatments and headlines for the finished cover and spread. The illustrations were created in Photoshop using 3d models, abstract patterns and particles created in Cinema 4d.
