Poster Artist:  Syd Mead

The 2011 EyesOn Design poster features a futuristic illustration by Syd Mead. The poster shows a Mead future dream vehicle - a sleek, ground-hugging black coupe - in front of two other low-slung concept vehicles.  It is taken from Mead’s work of highly-regarded futuristic paintings done as a series for United States Steel in the 1960s.  The original artwork is in the Andrew F. Johnson Gallery collection of automotive design and advertising art owned by Brett Snyder.  This is the second poster done by Mead for the EyesOn Design show.  The first done in 1991, was his first major work done using computer graphics software.  Both the 1991 and the 2011 Syd Mead posters will be on sale at the June 19, 2011 car show. The poster can also be purchased by filling out the order form above.

Poster Artist: William Mitchell

The 2010 EyesOn Design poster features a dynamic styling proposal for the 1937 LaSalle by William Mitchell, Harley Earl’s heir as Vice-President at General Motors Design. Mitchell was a true automobile fanatic and an exceptional artist. This year’s theme “The Evolution of an Automobile Design” is evident in the period style and emotion of the image as well as the subtle differences between the sketch and the production automobile.
