The Space Between US, FUI Design

The Space Between Us was the second film I worked at Twisted Media, and while at it’s heart it is a very sweet, personal film, it had a great many UI design challenges and opportunities!

First up was Gardner’s OS on the East Texas Mars colony.

As an FUI designer, you spend most of your time in a light-on-dark palette, so I was psyched when the team at The Space Between Us liked my dark-on-light concept for the Mars station UI.

In contrast to the light, friendly tone of the Gardner (Asa Butterfield) UI, Shepard (Gary Oldman) UI was meant to look more advanced than anything in the film. I think you can see some influence from my previous project Independence Day: Resurgence in this look.
