I love that Adam's so excited to ask his questions but also "gets out of the way" when an interviewee starts to respond. Plenty of other people would keep talking until their question was completely out.
I work in aviation and labels like, "No Step" "Tie Down" "Rescue" and weight and balance figures are everywhere. All of the warning and mechanical decals are really what caught my eye on this show and made it feel so much more real!! Awesome work to the props department and keep it up!
What always amazed me about The Expanse: The books are able to convey a believable sci-fi universe and society, but the show brings all that to life *so well*. A character is on a kind of subway, and the announcements over the speakers are in English, Chinese and Belter. Consider the takeout container: it is a clearly Asian design and shows how much the cultures have combined on Mars, because there's only Martian culture on Mars, no separate national cultures. The patches and signs fit in and carry meaning within this universe, there are warning signs where they should be. There are brand names all over the place which all are able to tell the viewer what they are at first glance. The Belter ships are gritty and greasy and dirty, the Earth ships are rather unfuturistic traditional design, the Mars ships are super high tech. You could say The Expanse... expanded on the books. And it's beautiful.
Yeah this show is absolutely amazing. Plus the books are kind of hard to adapt since there's a fair bit of inner thoughts so I definitely applaud them for successfully putting it all to film from that factor alone.
Just love all this Expanse content, its an amazing show and yes, Misko and Marisko absolutely does convey an entire show within a show within that backpack.
as a graphic designer, i'm both devastated because her job and work is infinitely cooler than anything i've ever done, but also super heartened because her process and technique sounds very similar to mine.
@@HEATSEEKER00 The Expanse isn't a documentary and she's not designing things for 'real' clients. Her job is to fake the stuff in the show so it feels lived in and familiar to the audience, and she's doing it really, really well. Please leave your envy out of the comments section in future.
@@HEATSEEKER00 You'll put them where you choose, but the fact that you're envious as hell is obvious. Did she get the gig and you didn't, diddums? Are you going to cry to your mommy because the mean girl stole your job?
These are my favorite Tested vids. I love watching Adam and another person geek on that person's job/expertise. You can tell how much passion Kim has for her work and how much Adam loves hearing how his favorites worlds are built.
I'm a huge fan of The Expanse and I must say you're doing a fantastic job, Kim! The set design and graphic design for The Expanse is truly excellent so thank you Kim for your amazing work!
As a designer I love how she is still on both sides of the coin with excitment. So cool and it's not always easy to get into a job like that. 🖤🌟 Thanks for putting this series together Tested its been awesome to watch so far!
This kind of work in classic films like alien, jurassic park, bladerunner, etc. Is what got me into graphic design. Now being a professional designer I have grown an even deeper appreciation for this artform.
Imagine being the designer of a bunch of things, then going to a ComiCon and seeing your work go past on someone's cosplay. You probably wouldn't stop them and say 'hey, I designed that' because, well, they may not believe you. Or they would believe you and they'd be totally stoked. Dunno. Anyway, superb segment. The enthusiasm just bubbled everywhere. Probably for a lot of us at home too.
It's a slow burner. When the first episodes came out I spent my time mocking John-Show-in-space and Detective Asteroid-noir. Both turned out to be such awesome characters.
I love these expanse episodes, its a perfect cross over of two of my favourite things, Tested and the expanse. And I do love the art of the show, you are amazing Kim. Also, warning labels and small stuff is the coolest things, love details.
Wow, she's amazing. So much of the flavor and look of the show came from her ! Outstanding ! An inspiration for everyone, become good at something you love, and get a job doing what you love. It does take some of the enjoyment away from that avocation. But, it will come back when you retire. I still love doing what I did as a job, which started as my favorite hobby !
So cool, thanks! I never really thought about how in a sci-fi show you have to make EVERYTHING in the world. Obviously there's a lot of original design needed in, say, a modern legal drama but at least there you could buy real-life products to have in the background. It's so wonderful to see how much effort goes into world building. Brava, Kim and the whole Expanse team!
It's a really joyful thing to see someone doing a job that suits them so perfectly! There are so many elements that go into creating such an immersive and believable universe for the show, Kim and her co-workers do such a wonderful job
As a designer, I definitely notice all the signs that I can in the show and I always thought they are so cool. Congratulations to Kim, I envy you so much!
so cool to see the passion these people have about their work. just started watching "The Expanse" because of the interviews by Adam and I can really tell that all the creators put 100% into it.
In 1989 I learned the name okuda. Since then I've been absolutely nuts for this kind of thing. They can have such an air of authenticity to a show or movie
I love this!!! University burnout has caused me to not enjoy graphic design as much as I used to, but all of the logos and symbols in this show have brought me back and made it fun and exciting again. Thank you for this video.
The graphic arts department on this show does such an amazing job that it is easy to forget you are watching a fictional universe. The world is so thoroughly built that it makes it feel completely real.
I'm a graphic designer in college who's about to graduate this year and this was really cool to see and kinda got me motivated to think of more ideas for my senior project.
So glad to hear about their working files being absolute chaos, & just playing around in Illustrator trying to find shapes & colours that work together, sounds just like mine. Lol
There is a badge on Savage industries suit that says in cyrillic Деревня Потемкин. So basically is Derevnya Potemkin is a Potemkin village, in Russia basically got a special meaning as a “fake village”.
I'm fascinated with all the screens and user interfaces they've designed for this show. If y'all go back for the next season, I'd love to see something about that.
Wow, what a great interview. It's great to see people that love what they do. You can't beat a job that lets you create interesting art (no matter how small sometimes).
Wow…I think I now understand why this show was so expensive to create. I thought the computer graphics were so expensive…but there is so much that goes into it to creating the show. I love this show so much and I am glad Adam is highlighting the people behind the scenes you made the show work.
Soooo,... This would be the talented artist and geek who added the Starship Troopers reference to the media reports on Naomi's comms, with the "Would you like to know more?" tag.
Wow, I am so glad I found your Channel!! I have not had tv since 09 and I am a huge science geek! Thank you so very much, you are looking healthy! Happy New Years!
Great interview! I love how graphic design breathes so much life to the world of The Expanse. However, I was waiting for them to talk about the bear on the desk... but then nothing?
For those wondering, the patch in Russian, деревня потомки, translates to Potemkin Village, which is in turn a phrase meaning a false front put up by a government to make things look like they're doing well when they're really not. That one scene from The Interview when Kim Jong Un is showing the reporters the lovely city, but everything is just a set is a good example of this. You can probably see a few examples of this within The Expanse between Earth, Mars, and the Belt and the various locations.
They are doing such an amazing job on the show, not only with graphics design, but with everything. A simple thing like a warning label or stickers on work clothes, might seem like a trivial thing, but they need to look like they fit in the universe. I don't notice the patches on clothes very much or the warning lables, you see them at a glance, and personally I think that's when it's done right. You watch a scene of whatever, warning lables on the walls or something just telling you it's something a person would need to handle carefully (or what ever it would be about). If it doesn't look natural, it would stick out like a sour thumb, and that's defiantly not what you want. This is what I think they do so right in the show! The sets, everything in the universe they've created feels like it belongs in the right place, that's why I love the show so much. That and great story obviously.
As a graphic designer for 15 years, it’s been a dream of mine to do it in this industry, so far all I’ve managed is movie poster artwork, but it’s still my dream to do on set/prop graphic design!
It's a very exiteing grafic! Fantastic! Together with the gorgeous actors and an interesting story, it makes this sci-fi one of the best! Really love it and looking foreward to season 5! .... 6 ... 7 ....🥰🤩🥳 Best wishes from Catharina in Sweden!
Heh. Adam just proves how much he's an artist... There's a reason there are committees and large numbers of people involved in designing real world packaging. As an artist, you absolutely love the cutlery. As an engineer, while I can appreciate the aesthetics, my first thought as soon as that came into frame: there's no way you could do that for real -- it's impossible to keep them sterile. (and there's only two sets.) Chopsticks (paper wrapped) might work well like that, 'tho.
really hope my life comes full circle and i can do cool stuff like you guys one day. idk if that day will ever come. things have been so bad lately. nobody will pay you for your dreams or for being a good person, finding suitable work to make my dreams happen is so hard when dealing with anxiety, depression and very likely PTSD. but if i can find some opportunity i could atleast put some good into this world. just like you guys, your awesome videos make me happy.
Great! How can anyone dislike this!? Creativity with strict time constraints is hard work but Kim makes it sound easy and fun. I loved the books and the show is better than ok but those constraints....time, money......I'm looking forward to the next season anyway
I think she did a very good job. Looking at the whole series, i can say i didn't find anything bad as visual design. Usually ugly things pop up into my mind without me wanting or needing, if they are bad. If something is designed good, then my brain doesn't even notice and thinks it is the way it should be. So, great job for kim, as there are plenty of others doing bad job in designing (in different places).

“It started as a stock image” is the most honest graphic design statement lol.
Exactly. Makes my job so much easier when I don't have enough time or the client has no budget (or both).

Yeah the show carried over the incredible attention to details from the incredibly vivid descriptions in the books to the props and sets in the show.
Yeah this show is absolutely amazing. Plus the books are kind of hard to adapt since there's a fair bit of inner thoughts so I definitely applaud them for successfully putting it all to film from that factor alone.
