Set 10 years before the original Star Trek series, the Discovery is an experimental Starfleet starship that uses a radical new type of warp technology.
Its crew consists of a diverse assortment of aliens. Few people in Starfleet know of the Discovery as its mission and explorations are steeped in secrecy.
When Discovery first aired Star Trek fans were pretty evenly split down the middle in whether they loved it or hated it.
The first year of the series was a little confusing, raised more questions than it answered and loosely tied into the Star Trek Universe.
When the second season finished airing the pieces began coming together and it became clearer as to Discovery’s place in the Star Trek mythos.
The third season firmly planted it into Star Trek lore.
Titan Books and writers Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann proudly present The Art Of Star Trek Discovery.
The oversize hardbound book, with slipcover, contains conceptual art for both the firsts and second seasons.
Readers are guided through a visual tour of beautiful full color illustrations and photos from the series and well as are given informative text about how the series was done.
Most people have little idea just how much work goes into creating such a spectacular series.
Production design, set creations, costumes, alien designs, spaceships and equipment construction and much more must all mesh together to make the series work.
Inside look for weapons designs, costume visualizations, character (both human and alien) selection, wardrobe, hairstyles, body and facial conceptualizations, accessories and more.
Discover how both the physical and digital effects were created, the readout screens, handheld weapons and equipment, insignia, lighting, planet environments and small incidentals all came to fruition from the fertile minds of the creative staff of artists, artisans, craftsmen, carpenters, electricians and designers.
After looking through the book you can’t help but be impressed by the tremendous hard work, creative thinking and imagination that went into the series.
