||: MacQuarium by Dave D'aranjo :||
I found a Macintosh 128K on the side of the road in Singapore, and, having
seen quite a few awesome MacQuariums at The
Apple Collection Website,
I decided to embark on the project myself. It took several months to complete
the piece using instructions found at LowEndMac.com.
The tank was the most difficult to accomplish; the rear edge is beveled alongside
the casing to allow for the maximum amount of water capacity.
This, very importantly, allows the waterlevel to rise above the top edge of
the 'screen', thus completing the screensaver illusion.
Thanks to Coral Reef Aquarium
Singapore for this. The background is a black matte with Apple logo transparency
custom printed by FotoHub
Singapore
and back-lit with three LED tube lights, available at Sim
Lim Square.
Special thanks to Stan Wong of MagicLasso.com
for his great photography skills, and to Joel Stein, picture at Applefritter.com,
for design inspiration.
