We have a unique set of prints created by Syd Mead – the visual futurist – for USSteel. These are from the 1960s. They are exquisite!
Our photos do not do them justice. Check out the story of this amazing futuristic visionary.
Sydney Jay Mead, born on July 18, 1933, in St. Paul, Minnesota, revolutionized the world of conceptual design with his unique ability to visualize and render entire futures in ways never seen – nor imagined – before.
After graduating with distinction from Art Center School in Los Angeles in 1959, Mead’s career quickly evolved from automotive design at Ford to creating futuristic concepts for corporations, and eventually, the film industry.
Mead’s film work, beginning with Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), showcased his extraordinary talent for creating fully realized, plausible future worlds. His designs for Blade Runner (1982) defined the film’s iconic dystopian cityscape, while his work on Aliens (1986) brought to life the utilitarian yet believable aesthetics of future space travel. Other notable films included Tron (1982), 2010 (1984), Short Circuit (1986), and Mission Impossible III (2006).
What set Mead apart was his approach to design. He didn’t just create isolated objects or settings; he envisioned entire scenarios, solving logistical and practical problems as part of his creative process. Each design, whether a vehicle, a building, or an entire city, was part of a larger, thoughtfully considered world. This holistic approach lent his work a level of plausibility that made even the most fantastical concepts feel achievable.
Mead’s precision and expertise in rendering these visions were unparalleled. His technical skill allowed him to present his ideas with photorealistic clarity, further enhancing the believability of his concepts. As he once said, “I’ve called science fiction ‘reality ahead of schedule.'”
Throughout his career, Mead continuously adapted to new technologies, embracing computer illustration in the 1990s. He shared his techniques through exhibitions, lectures, and his instructional series Techniques of Syd Mead.
Syd Mead’s legacy is not just in the futures he designed, but in his approach to imagining them. He showed that the most compelling visions of the future are those that feel both innovative and inherently possible. Mead passed away on December 30, 2019, leaving behind a body of work that continues to inspire designers, filmmakers, and futurists worldwide.
