This Steve Jobs tribute is a dismantled MacBook Pro that has been rearranged to make the face of the recently passed Apple visionary.  A department of Mint Digital, Foundry, created this portrait when they found out that Steve Jobs had died the day before.  This is another great piece of evidence showing how hard the tech community has taken Steve Jobs’s death, and one of thousands of tributes built since yesterday.

 

 

Here’s what Foundry had to say about the design of their creation and the reasoning behind it -

This morning, surrounded by the fruits of his labour, we heard the news that the man behind all of these incredible products had died. It seemed fitting to create a tribute to him using the spare components of the old Mac book pro. Every component has been broken down to its most basic form and reassembled into a portrait of Steve Jobs.

Hey – for all of you geeks who can’t paint, this is a great example of what you can do for a Steve Jobs tribute, assuming you have random Apple products that you can afford to smash into hundreds of tiny little pieces.  I would rather drop watermelons out of a second story window and hope that the splatters ended up looking something like Steve Jobs.  Or, perhaps I could buy every Corn Flakes cereal box in the United States and find one that looks like the Apple logo.  DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY PEOPLE WOULD PAY TO HAVE A CORN FLAKE SHAPED LIKE AN APPLE?  Let me put it this way – there’s a Corn Flake shaped like Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web that’s going for $500.  Apple logo?  $4,000 minimum if it’s a strong resemblance.
