Ideas for 'set dressing' a sci-fi murder mystery

[AntonyF]

I'm hosting a sci-fi themed murder mystery, and we're on a space station.

I know this is quite a specific request, but feel if anyone knows it'll be you lot!

Does anyone know of any resources for posters/images that would add flavour to the set design? I particularly like the idea of fake official photos... you know don't put your head in the plasma stream, don't open the airlock type of fake safety posters.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Sounds like a request for the fan art forum. Someone there would probably enjoy making those up for you to get printed.

NASA has just released a bunch of "travel to Mars' type posters.

If you just google "NASA posters" you'll finds a whole bunch of them, and if you have an A3 colour pointer, or a copy shop in your area, they are straightforward to print from a thumb drive etc. There are some very cool ones.

I know they aren't exactly what you were looking for but they would add atmosphere (pun not intended).

There's a few retro-futuristic travel posters out there. There are some here (including some based on recently discovered Exoplanets). There's a ton on deviantArt, too. Not sure if any of these are high-res enough for printing, though.

Thank you so much - all of those are rock solid suggestions and just the sort of thing i was after! I also found a couple of Fallout ones which I think will work well.

Thanks.

And why not right for my party how awesome is this:

Admittedly swayed by a being a huge art deco fan.

My only issue I want to have them ALL.

I think The Grand Tour in A3 would be great. I'm seriously thinking of getting one and framing it.

Fabulous. I love the old-school airships.

The Mars one reminds me of the cover art on the paperback version of Ben Bova's novel Mars.

Gorgeous.

Look up some of the locked-room mysteries and apply them to a space station.

Then too--you might not have to imagine...
