Read the full brief every model received
Design the website for **Cosmodrome Voyages**, a fictional space-tourism bureau imagined as if it were founded in 1962 — the space age as people dreamed it then, not as it happened. Think atomic-age optimism: families taking the weekend rocket to the Moon the way they might take a train to the coast. The site should feel like a lovingly modernized artifact of that imagined era. The page must communicate: - The bureau and its promise — comfortable, scheduled, civilized travel beyond Earth, in the confident voice of mid-century advertising. - Three destinations, each with its own personality and selling points: a lunar resort on the Sea of Tranquility, an orbital grand hotel, and a scenic flyby of Venus's cloud tops. - The fleet: the flagship liner *Stella Maris* — what aboard-ship life is like (the observation lounge, the dining deck, gravity by gentle rotation). - Fares and departures, presented like a vintage timetable, and a way to reserve a berth. Emotional register: **optimistic, charming, wholesome, retro-futurist**. The joy of this brief is the period voice carried through every detail — the illustrations, the language, the ornament — while remaining a genuinely well-crafted modern web page underneath. This challenge stresses **illustration drawn in code and thematic commitment**: rockets, planets, starfields and ornament must all be built with CSS/SVG/canvas — no external images — and the period character must hold together from headline to footer. All design decisions — palette, typography, layout, copy, imagery, motion — are yours. There is no single right answer; make something with a point of view.
