New York - Men on Girder


We have been recently asked to come up with images and design a page to put into a small presentation. These had to be of things that interest or inspire us about New York. Something that I thought of straight away is the famous image of workers on a girder against the backdrop of New York City. I have seen numerous imitations of the image and it is one of the most popular posters you can buy. The image is inspirational as it shows the workers taking their break without a care in the world and not worrying about their safety. It is humourous and shows character against the contrasting industrial robot like background.

I combined this with the yellow of New York taxis and the stripes represent the busyness and sharp angles that make up the New York landscape. I have typed over the word 'New' of New York with the word 'Old' as this image represents the history of New York and it shows its age.
