Notes Design

Now here's a nice set of process images to start off your Friday. Christoff Niemann, an illustrator and award-winning graphic artist, takes us step by step through the job of turning the tiled surfaces of his family's Berlin home into pixelated artworks, via careful tile color selection. Christoff, who writes the Abstract City blog for the NYT website, really did some homework on this one, examining artworks from Titian to Warhol, pixelating them to check appropriateness, and commenting on the results.

Best part, of course, is the finished product: The NYC subway map gets installed in the kids' WC, but if you want to see what they did with the master bath and shower, check the link.
