Entries to a competition to design a new tower in London (1890

The year previous, 1889, saw the hugely successful Eiffel Tower go up in the centre of Paris, and the good people of London, not to be outdone, decided to get one of their own. A wonderful array of designs were put forward. Many were suspiciously similar to the Eiffel Tower and many erred on the wackier side of things, such as Design no.19, the “Century Tower”, reminiscent of a huge screw, and London Vegetarian Society’s design for an “aerial colony” which came complete with hanging vegetable gardens and a one-twelfth scale replica of the Great Pyramid on its summit. The very practical design number 37 by Stewart, McLaren and Dunn was eventually chosen to be awarded the 500 guinea prize-money and built in Wembley Park.

All images extracted from Descriptive illustrated catalogue of the sixty-eight competitive designs for the great tower for London compiled and edited by Fred.

Pin-Up Girls Before & After, 1950s

This allowed him to meticulously stage a scene in which he could build sets with various props to portray different subjects and scenarios and perfect the lighting of the models. Once he was pleased with the set up Elvgren would then photograph the scene and the posed model with a 2 ¼ Rollei. As you can see from the photographs, although the stunning final illustrations are technically impressive and are an almost accurate portrayal of his models, Elvgren took a certain level of artistic license when it came to the distinctive feminine figures he created.

When asked about his techniques, the artist described adding “touches” to every painting. Shoes, 1939. Talbot-Lago T23 Teardrop Coupé, 1938. Animated Graphics & Video Clips.

This superstructure is comprised of two towers that are connected by various platforms that act as a bridge. The building has a distinct windowed facade that provides each unit with a great view of the city. These stacked structures will act as an architectural landmark in the huge business district.

Some of these logos are the ugliest looking monstrosities I have ever seen (almost as bad as animated gifs). I hope I haven’t offended anyone, they are really well made apps. Some, I think were made as experiments and for users to have fun playing around, others, sadly, take themselves quite seriously. Anyway, have fun with these generators.
