The Print Maiden

Description

A cast photo from my multimedia student project Renaissance Man, this one of the Print Maiden; Isabella Gutenberg; whom the main character Raphael Sanzio must visit in his quest.
In my story Isabella is some distant Italian relative of Johannes Gutenberg (the inventor of the printing press in case you didn't know) who runs the Gutenberg Industries Press high up in a tower overlooking Florence.
I remember that I added the colour squares to the photo to try and bring in a RGB/CMYK element to the composition considering she is the digital print expert of Renaissance Italy. Considering she is also solely responsible for the creation of some much sought-after and highly valued art, the Mona Lisa for example, Isabella naturally comes armed and packing heat in case the Medici Mafia family come looking for trouble.
It's not terribly visible in the photo (or even in the actual film unfortunately) but the dress Jude is wearing was actually created by a fellow student's friend and had medieval typefaces printed onto the fabric which also harked back to the real Johannes Gutenberg, father of the printing press.

very interesting concept! you've got a LOT of creativity and your story-telling concepts are SO UNIQUE! i like where you're going with this.. especially with all of the art history references! i was an art history minor, fine art major. its amazing to me, and certainly pushes the envelope a LOT harder than most ppl on DeviantArt!!
