The RGB collection reissue utilizes conceptual sketches, as well as full-color illustrations to provide a glimpse of the future, as it was in the past, through the eyes of one of the greatest visionaries of our lifetime.

This reissue of Studio Image 3 was the long awaited third and final addition to the Studio Image series titled RGB collection. It brings together some of Syd Mead’s finest full-color illustrations at the time of publication, in 1989. Never-before-seen concept drawings for theme park attractions and television shows of the time such as “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, and movies like “Princess of Mars”, “Aliens” and “Solar Crisis” take the viewer on a visual fantasy excursion to a place in time not yet seen by anyone other than Syd Mead.

Printed on high-quality 16 1/2" x 11 3/4" varying paper stock, to represent the various stages of the conceptual process, this book features the emerging ideas in sketch form and further showcases some of Syd Mead's finest illustrations in a format suitable for framing.

Inspirational to virtually everyone in the fields of automotive design, film concept design, and industrial design, Syd Mead was a concept artist/visual futurist. He is widely regarded as the most creative industrial designer in history.

Mead began his art career in 1959 at Ford Motor Company's Advanced Styling Studio. After two years, he left the studio and began illustrating books and catalogues for large corporations, such as US Steel, Celanese, Allis Chalmers, and Atlas Cement. In 1970, he launched Syd Mead, Inc. with Philips Electronics as his most notable client.

Some of the films he has worked on include Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Blade Runner, Tron, 2010, Short Circuit, Aliens, Timecop, Johnny Mnemonic, and Mission: Impossible III.

Mead also provided architectural renderings for many clients, including Intercontinental Hotels, 3D International, Harwood Taylor & Associates, Don Ghia, and Gresham & Smith.
