Your Imagination is the Combination
To commemorate my 50th birthday, I have collected a few lists of 50 of my favourite things. Ever since I bought my first Mac in 1993, I have been creating digital art and designing for a galaxy of interesting people and brands. This stroll down memory lane has given me a chance to reflect on a very rewarding career.
“Growing old is a privilege.
Not everybody gets to do it”
This week I turned 50. The day after my birthday, I took a stroll down memory lane. I revisited projects that I had forgotten and refreshed my memory with the stories behind each. I tweeted 50 stand out projects one at a time and then collected them into this post.

I’m not an artist. I’m an appreciator of art, but I know nothing about the technicals or terminology of art. That’s why my first thought when I saw this piece was, simply, ‘wow’, and my second thought was, ‘how can I own this!?’

Lenticular printing is a specialized image process that uses bevelled lenses to create the illusion of depth or motion. Although the original process dates back to 1896, this process has come a long way.
I’ve been fascinated with lenticulars ever since I pulled one out of a Frosted Flakes cereal box in the 80’s. I could not understand how an image could move simply by the way that I moved it in my hand. Years later, I would be given the opportunity to design several of my own. One for Miller Genuine Draft. Looking back, that was almost 15 years ago:

The hatching in these customized digital portraits are extraordinary. Looking at them, I have no idea how to duplicate this process. But I would love to know.
This highly technical approach has the feel of an old world engraver. Bravo.

We love the vast array of art direction that goes into a film like Oblivion. Especially the User Interface Design (UI) by GMUNK. Projected onto selected surfaces in real time so that the stunning lighting design could interact with it. Hawaiian mountain cloudscapes were projected around the set creating a never before seen effect. Better than CGI – Real.
Oblivion takes place in 2077, on an Earth devastated by war with extraterrestrials that has caused humanity to relocate itself to Titan. The film follows the story of Jack Harper, a technician who has been sent back to Earth to service drones used in the fight against remaining extraterrestrials (scavengers).
