Invention: Gear Face
Repurposed Art One of the classic images I considered for this theme was Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times". After trying to shoehorn the gears into the Metropolis idea, I had a strange attack of deja vu ... as if I've been on this track before. Sure enough, I remembered. In addition to the technical difficulties of rendering this in Adobe Illustrator 3 -- no working in Preview mode, every blend is hand-built and masked, no Gradient tool -- my client was also difficult with last-second demands. Therefore, I believe I earned enough combat pay to bring this 1993 classic to a new audience.
