After presenting the two earlier passport concepts, we received feedback that both directions had valuable qualities worth preserving. Rather than choosing one over the other, we decided to combine elements from both and develop a final hybrid design.
The final passport covers integrate the official structure and atmospheric line patterns from Version A with the symbolic lung imagery from Version B. The flowing lines were retained to suggest air currents and movement, while the lungs became a central visual motif representing breath, environmental conditions, and the identity of each virtual nation. Each country was further distinguished through a unique colour palette and environmental imagery embedded within the lungs, linking national identity to different atmospheric ecologies.
This final design allowed the passports to function both as believable travel documents and as speculative artefacts, balancing realism with conceptual storytelling. By merging the strengths of both earlier versions, the final covers more fully reflected the core idea of the project: imagining citizenship and mobility through the lens of air.
