Silence during the end of time; with cobwebs, blood and orange dust...

For this design challenge, I took the prompt "The Last Thing We Heard" and instantly envisioned a desolate, isolated, and lonely apocalypse. I wanted to keep with the prompt and visualised a promotional movie poster, reflecting on the concept of hearing, and connected it with motion pictures. What better way to capture the truly isolated and silent emotions than by experiencing the rollercoaster of an apocalyptic film and being left in your seat while the credits roll in silence?

Bringing a sense of silence with an abandoned room that features a desk with multiple points towards preparing for doomsday. The open window framed by cobwebs lets in the orange wasteland with barren trees that create a sense of the end. Sitting on the desk is an old radio that plays into the theme of sound, beside a scratched, chalk inscription on the table that reads "The Last Thing We Heard", beside a bloodied table corner and a baseball bat. Keeping with a dark and restricted colour palette allowed for a dull and dramatic aesthetic that keeps the sense of apocalypse while maintaining depth. The poster is rough and scratchy, reflecting the harsh environment and experience portrayed in the design.

With the emotional turmoil that comes with isolation, hopelessness, and doomday, it reminds you that time is fleeting, and this may be the last thing you hear.
