}My idea stemmed around a nuanced, playful version of the act of orbiting — I wanted to show the journey of a paper airplane flying around the world, placing it at a scale similar to a handful of satellites. The plane’s movement represents seconds, the comet’s orbit’s minutes, and the rotation of the land masses on the earth represents hours, while the smaller dashed line are a creative play on figuring out how to use milliseconds to display agile, not-jittery movement.
After sketching my initial ideas down, I used Adobe Illustrator to plan out the look of the elements as well as the program’s composition.
