The twin portraits of Steve Jobs

The TWIN Black & White portraits of Steve Jobs

Two mosaic portraits of Steve Jobs made out of Apple products for Panorama weekly magazine in Italy.

These are my latest twin portraits of Steve Jobs. I created them for Panorama, Italy's Number 1 weekly magazine.
The magazine's creative director requested a 'white on white' portrait in which Steve Jobs was to be depicted with all of Apple's white products. Of course, I didn't want to use a grayscale version of the products, but create the Black & White feeling using as few colors as possible. I had to turn off some monitors, but I haven't changed the products' actual color. From around 300 of them, I first created the white mosaic. Then I became curious about what a black version would look like.
The Panorama team liked them both. They included the initial portrait on the latest cover of the financial section - Panorama Economy - and the black one is used for the internal pages of the magazine.

This is the white version...

...and this is the black version.
