Star Wars Aesthetic

by Hillel

Personally, I’ve always thought that the difference between the Star Wars and Star Trek aesthetic was simply the amount of money spent on both sets that look real, and extras to populate them. Star Wars locales looked real and felt like they were filled with realistic numbers of people. It was all about scale. This was in stark contrast to Star Trek where planets looked like some weird pseudo Mount Olympus where 400 people inhabit the entire place.

Cute ‘page not found’ page.

A collection of interesting letterhead (both design-wise, and in terms of who’s letterhead it was). [thx kottke]
