The opening titles of the second season of Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan series do a remarkable job of setting the stage for the drama. Conveying the dual nature of Jack Ryan’s life as a CIA analyst and a reluctant field operative; the sequence uses a split-screen approach, juxtaposing images for both of Jack’s worlds. Baseballs interplay with grenades. Overhead views of cargo ships fade into Marine Corps rank ribbons. An airspeed dial completes a commuter bike wheel. Ryan’s broken spine x-ray aligns with a row of boneyard aircraft, once the backbone of America’s Air Force. Created by Imaginary Forces, the title sequence is a 90-second masterpiece of visual storytelling.

Stålenhag’s Extraordinary Visual Storytelling
With a long-standing interest in future visualizations at the bivouac, the style and substance of Simon Stålenhag’s illustrations have left quite the impression. Stålenhag’s masterful illustrative technique is remarkable in and of itself. Still, his unique ability to seamlessly blend the world we know today with new and unfamiliar future technologies makes his work genuinely distinct.
Stålenhag’s command of visualizations portrays powerful story arcs without needing the written word. He is exceptionally skilled at capturing a sense of expansive scale. He does this by placing huge, futuristic objects into what would otherwise be commonplace landscapes. This juxtaposition, accompanied by a remarkable lighting command and a clarity of focus applied to some regions of the composition, further enhances a dramatic sense of expansiveness.
Another device Stålenhag uses is placing human beings in vulnerable situations with new forms of technology. Children or parents with children are seen navigating a landscape strewn with disused “old future” technologies or avoiding those who seem to be searching for them. Placing today’s emergent technology in such matter-of-fact settings and often applying an aged patina to technologies we have yet to know is powerful. Work like this can help encourage us to ask important questions about the technology we are bringing into the world at an increasing pace and why we might want to think more carefully about doing so.

Although it has been around for a while, The Fallen of World War II does a fine job of visualizing the number of lives lost during the conflict. It is always sobering to see the scope of the war visualized, and pieces like this help us to remain ever mindful of those who sacrificed or lost their lives in a civilian context so that the relative peace we have today is not taken for granted.
