This is a picture I found on another art blog: blog.freepeople.com/art/ It is a modern computer that was actually designed to look like the Victorian style. There are many other things that can be found on www.steampunkworkshop.com/ that were also turned into the old style. Although there is obviously no typography for me to talk about, I think the design is creative and unique. I like how it takes old and new and combines them together to create something totally different than anyone has seen before. Since we had just discussed the Victorian era I thought this would fit our discussion pretty well.

I really really like this image you found. This is so cool that then transformed something so modern into something from 2 centuries ago. I agree with you on the creative and unique aspect as well.
ReplyDeletehaha thats funny and its a good find i have seen some modded computer before but this is interesting that someone would actually want there computer to look like a victorian style. this is very interesting and it relates to our readign very well
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting! Very elegant and different but yet it is modern technology. I wonder if there were computers then if they would have looked like that. It would be really cool if the keys on the keyboard were in a victorian style typeface.
