aloha
Advanced Space loves aloha shirts. While that’s not something I expected out of a Colorado-based aerospace company, I had the great pleasure of designing custom aloha patterns for them in both summers of 2022 and 2023. While at a glance the shirts appear purely botanical, they incorporate motifs specific to Advanced Space’s ongoing missions.
2022 Aloha pattern
On June 17th, 2022, Advanced Space’s CAPSTONE mission launched on a Ballistic Lunar Transfer to the Moon. These elements were incorporated alongside traditional hibiscus flowers to create a pattern the office was obsessed with.
2023 aloha pattern
By June 2023, CAPSTONE had entered into its L2 Southern Halo Orbit and was successfully demonstrating Advanced Space’s CAPS™ navigation technology. I illustrated and vectorized plumeria and birds of paradise flowers to accompany the cislunar satellite’s milestones for a pattern that also functions as a conversation piece.
