Phantom 2040: PART III
Background Layout Design

Client: Hearst Animation.
Art Director: Myself.
Project Date: Fall 1993.

Third in my series, after showing vehicle design and character clor keys I present some of the Background Layouts that I developed for the show.

The basic Design theme was "Tall and Thin" as the overarching concept for this world. It matched the tall gaunt characters that Peter Chung did for the project so these "thin as a rail" people would fit in a tall environment.

You will also see a few added themes in these images one being the wrapping and interlocking of shapes taken from the Art Nouveau theme for the world as seen the the freeways wrapping up and around the main Maximum Building.

Now the Maximum building was based on Frank Lloyd Wrights Mile High building concept, my favorite work conceptually of his.

Cheers, THOM
