In the master's thesis, I delve into the research of societal issues of the future. The beginnings of some of which we can already feel today, but their worst consequences will be felt by humanity at the end of the century. I explore topics such as the ramifications of global warming, exponential technological advancements, and the potential rise of totalitarian regimes. I also touched upon the role of art in the culture of the future.
After that comes the introduction to my practical work, where I describe the role of illustration and its subgenre concept art, under which I also categorize my own work. I go through different types of concept art and mention a few authors that I feel are important. I talk about digital illustration as it's the prevalent form of illustration in this profession and also my preferred medium of choice.
In the end, we get to my practical work, which is called 'A journey through our future'. I tell you how I decided to go for this type of visualization of the future and how I designed the protagonist. I go through the process of creating an illustration and provide an artistic analysis of my work.
