Title:  “Online shopping”
Contributor: LuMaxArt

Why we like it:  Mixing it up a bit - today we’ve selected a recently submitted image from LuMaxArt - creator of the famous “gold guys” and one of the most prolific SnapVillage contributors to date. This LuMaxArt illustration displays some of what makes his work so successful:

• Appealing 3D render
• Clean design - easy to drop into a variety of webdesigns and business publications
• Clear visual translation of popular concepts and metaphors

Similarly to the Monkey Business shot we picked last week, this LuMaxArt illustration captures a popular concept in a clear and accessible way. LuMaxArt takes advantage of the medium - conjuring a humorously literal take on online shopping in a way that would be a bit more obtuse in a photograph (not to mention difficult to capture without many hours of post-processing effects). Without overcomplicating, he adds some nice details too - the binary “1″s and “0″s that the online shopper is surfing into the laptop screen.

But if online shopping gets this interactive we may all be in trouble… 

What do you think?
