Design Addict recently posted about this book called Lifestyle Illustration of the 60s, "a colossal survey of magazine artwork from the Swinging Sixties" that showcases the colors, fashions, and style lines of that era. In the backgrounds are the cars and jetliners that epitomized that period of time.
I'll avoid making the umpteenth Mad Men reference and instead ask, can any of you ID'ers with illustration skills come up with modern-day drawings or renderings of this concept? In fifty years, what would people say epitomized the current era when they look back on it--iPhones, hybrid cars, cyber-bullying? If you can get something together, e-mail it to me at (rain) [at] core77 (dot) [com], subject line "2000s LIFESTYLE" and I'll post the best of the best.
