Daily Dose /ˈɪmɪdʒ(ə)ri/ monographic images 1378 | Syd Mead “Technology as I grew up was the things I saw: a mangle ironer machine or mom’s Servel ‘silent’ refrigerator. At six I had a cutaway of the Hindenberg dirigible and I was sketching teardrop-shaped cars before drawing rocketships in grade school. As a child I had no idea that design was a profession, but I knew that somehow I would earn my living being paid to draw. In high school I started a graphic novel, drawing and coloring with Prismacolor pencils.”
