The twin black & white portraits of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs 2011 (black)

These are my latest twin portraits of Steve Jobs. I created them for Panorama, Italy's Number 1 weekly magazine. The creative director of the magazine requested a 'white on white' portrait where Steve Jobs was to be illustrated with all of Apple's white products. I created the mosaic but then became curious with what a black version would look like. The Panorama team included the initial portrait on the latest cover of the the financial section of the magazine - Panorama Economy.
I'm not really sure which of the two I prefer but i'll probably print them both, one next to the other, for my office...

This is the actual cover of Panorama Economy
