IPhone Skins – Protection And Fun For Your Mobile Device
by Guest Author on Jul.11, 2011, under iphone
Some people get almost as excited about their iPhone skins (customizable protective covers) than they do the actual device. If the creative output from hundreds of artists is not sufficient for the user to express their uniqueness via their mobile phone cover, some suppliers let the customer create their own using either photographs or original artwork.
Protective covers have rapidly evolved into an art form in their own right and their designs have become as collectible as, well, art. The late Norman Rockwell (1894 – 1978) is an inadvertent contributor to the genre. No fewer than six of his creations now feature on skins. Rockwell was a popular 20th Century American artist and illustrator, famous for his depictions of everyday life scenarios.
Dutch graphic artist MC Escher (1898 – 1972) is another posthumous folk hero whose works live on in phone skins. Claude Monet (1840-1926), the founder of French impressionist painting, is represented, too, with ‘Artist’s Garden at Giverny’ and ‘Sunset in Venice’ both adorning the mobile phones of discerning users.
The breathtakingly beautiful ‘The Birth of Venus’, by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) has had a reprise in 21st Century popular art, appearing on skins. Vicent van Gogh (1853 – 1890), the pioneer of expressionism and post-impressionist master from Holland, posthumously contributes ‘Cafe at Night’ and the ever popular ‘Starry Night’.
Mobile phone users are given the opportunity to express themselves through the work of living artists, too. Software developer and artist from Austin, Texas, Paul McGuire’s high resolution, brilliantly colorful fractal distortions entitled, ‘Change is Life’ and ‘Cauldron 1′ have the opportunity to protect delicate technology from scratches and static. Self taught artist from San Francisco, Michael Page (b. 1979), gives us ‘Enki’s Gold’ and ‘Peace We Bring’.
These are just a few of the artists whose work features on this exciting new genre. Not only is there a skin for every iPhone owner, there are skins for every mood of every owner.
