“Design & Technology” Icon
Let’s call this an elaboration of the neocubist theme I’ve been working on for a while.
Like the cubist style invented by Picasso about a hundred years ago, there is a conscious rejection of vanishing lines of perspective. Perspective is a technique artists use to make things look real. Today, of course, if you want a realistic picture of something, you can take one. With your cell phone.
Gradients aside, these images are pretty flat. To give the image depth, you have to move things around inside the frame. Thank goodness for software with layers.
Using a paint brush to represent design, that’s pretty intuitive. How about that gear for technology? OK, you’re probably thinking: technology means computers, gadgets, the Internet. It used to mean something less knowledge-based. More primal. As Alvin Toffler once said, "Brute technology was designed for illiterates–which most of our ancestors were."

50 Cent

Robert Greene
These images pay tribute to The 50th Law, by 50 Cent and Robert Greene. You can read a summarized version of the book on the blog Power, Seduction and War. Here’s one of my favorite nuggets of wisdom:
The public is never wrong. When people don’t respond to what you do, they’re telling you something loud and clear. You’re just not lisenting.

The Photoshop work was adapted from a case study in How to Cheat in Photoshop CS4 by Steve Caplin. It’s a great reference for sharpening your Photoshop skills.
