Very interesting.
I like pretty much all of Michael’s previous work, that have been for sale, and not.
He has without a doubt been an inspiration to me into designing things into its simplest form, but at the same carrying a lot of weight of data behind it.
If that makes any sense.
The TimeCode series was brilliant, and this is another series I see that strikes a chord with a lot of people.
Yes, the idea is inherently simple at a quick glance; but looking past the “dot” I do see a lot more.
A specific colour that is used to represent the given subject, the mathematics behind using a specifically sized circle against the sizing of the subject itself; all brought about in his unique way of informative without being over-bearing.
It invokes thought from a distance and up close; or it invokes first impressions which can not be looked past I guess.
All in all, I like the concept very much.
Though at the same time I do feel the “Death Star” does detract from this particular grouping.
The sun is already present, being a star in itself (not man-made of course [or sci-fi made]).
Apparently I’m delving too deep into this, but I view the group as follows:
Sun, Earth, Carbon, Pence, Death Star.
Where as the Sun gives “life” to the Earth which is the planet most of us live on (ah thank you), and we are connected loosely but undeniably through the Carbon atom.
Here I we use the pence to give life to ourselves on Earth as a means to do what we want to do.
...
And I guess that is to make Death Stars, hahaha.
Shrug.
