Photoshop: A world of possibities

come visit one of my favorite graphic designs… www.shinybinary.com

Here you’ll see the elaborate and unique designs of Nik Ainley, a self-taught Photoshop artist. I recent visited this sight on October 10th, 2007 to view his latest designs and found a new favorite. It is titled “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”. This design is so complex I could stare at it for days and continue to see something new. The rib cage in the center was the first thing that caught my eye and consequently I related this image with the human body. Therefore, I interpreted the other images as a metaphor of interaction with the body. The composition gave me a mechanical feeling which reminded me of a robotic person and the idea of replacing limbs with mechanical parts for ideal performance. The intertwining objects layered upon each other felt like the weight of life constricting the body. The red area towards the left communicated pain and the circular shapes expanding out on both sided conveyed reaching out for something. Tell me what you see…
