"Inverted Illusion" is the fictional sci-fi series to which Media University graduates Katharina Höfer and Christina Masukowitz have created an impressive series opener as part of their graphic design thesis.
“Black Mirror”, “Westworld” or “Humans” are just some of the lavishly produced series that have turned science fiction into one of the hottest genres in the last few years. Corresponding to this trend, the Cologne Media University students Katharina Höfer and Christina Masukowitz decided to dedicate their jointly written bachelor thesis to the fictional sci-fi series “Inverted Illusion”. Based on an extensive theoretical exploration of the subject of title design as well as the aesthetics and themes of science fiction, they have developed an opener that does not have to shy away from the comparison to real serial intros. They used tools from the fields of motion design and 3D, while they had to consider a coherent film aesthetics and a consistent corporate design.
