Cube Patent Composite

[advincubing]

Being a lawyer and (slow) speedcuber, I figured I might as well create some topical art for my office. So, I recently made a large poster by compositing the abstract page (and key diagrams) from the main cube patents of which I'm aware. Details and download links are on my blog. Here's a thumbnail of the 24x36 poster:



Enjoy.

It doesn't make the most exiting poster?

Photo of the final thing on your wall might be nice.

Probably hard to get a good sense from this, but here you go....

My instinct as a designer is to get to the core of the thing and communicate it immediately. At heart I'm a propagandist. It may not be what you want for an office where people have more time. It may also not be what you want for a conversation or educational piece. Do you want to show the magnetic cube patents and some others?

I would get away from assembled pages and into a design. Here I have the Rubiks patent and quote rearranged. Vcubes and some Chinese cubes coming in. I wish their were more Chinese cubes in this one but I didn't want to clutter it up. Magnetic cubes and similar are gone. Something like this though it need a lot of refinement and you do have a lot of space that I'm no really using too well yet.

That's awesome! Really cool approach. I have virtually no artistic skill so I see a bunch of stuff, I line it up with precision, and call it a day! There's a reason I went to law school and not art school!

You're right that yours is far more interesting, but less of a conversation/educational piece. It's amazing to me how people in my office (almost all of whom haven't touched a cube since they were kids that couldn't solve one) get stuck in front of the poster reading some of the language, looking at the diagrams, and asking all sorts of questions about it.
