As promised, period advertising to accompany the Specimen Dispenser. I would aim to display these alongside the sculpture when I exhibit it. The design and layout of the advert was inspired by TV and radio adverts of the 1950's and I like the idea of an advanced bio-elctro-medical product being invented in an alternative "history".
Visually I'm greatly inspired by Cyperpunk the Steampunk creative genres and I think the ad fits nicely somewhere between the two. its more "ValvePunk!" To give the advert added realism I printed off a good copy on to Lumijet Velvet paper and the rescanned the picture but with an overhead acetate layer in front, this gave some nice dust defects to the image and gave it a more weathered look.
Hope you like it. My next project is going to be an "adapted" 1920's phone, it will be called "Hotline to the Hereafter", watch this space!
