Revolution

The centerpiece and inspiration for this design comes from the antique Rollieflex camera. I wanted to pay homage to the antiquity of photography, one of the newest, yet most popular current art forms. The orange coloring of the camera was inspired by the French style of painting where an outline was painted onto the canvas at first and colored later by an imprecise wash. I used a sans font for the main title, with modification, and mirrored it. Check out my design blog designbysolo.com to view photographs of a printed version of this and other prints. Let me know if you find an image that is not offered in this store that you are interested in purchasing.

    Thanks everyone for such inspiring words… I am glad that there has been such a great reaction to this piece… When I created this, I had a really nice reaction from the friends that I showed it to (and I was happy with the output) so I decided to make a small series of these, in order to pay tribute to the technological innovations that change and shape our lives but are so quickly eclipsed and outdated by new inventiveness. Therefore, I will be posting some of the others from the series in the days to come.

    Beautiful. Very well thought out and composed and I love the colours. I also love that you have bothered to understand where this style and inspiration has come from- design history is so often overlooked and let’s face it- nothing is ever totally new, we are all inspired by what has come before, it’s just that some people don’t like to admit it. The flowers are divine too.

    Thanks, it has a lot of good details that you can’t really see in the low-res screen version… Looks really good printed out.

    It looks like it would be excellent printed out. The detail in the camera itself impresses me.
