Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Clientz : The Cold War Museum: A change of pallete

A change of pallete

Shortly after the Brick Party, the mosaic design was reviewed. After some scrutiny, my client and I decided that it would be best to have the LEGO mosaic more closely follow the original Cold War Museum logo. In short, all the reds needed to be switched to blue and vice-versa.

It took about 15 hours to replace all of the colors correctly, but a lot of good came out of this:

• First, and foremost, it was the right thing to do. The revision was going to be tedious, but we aim to please, and getting the job done right is the only way we do it.
• It makes a lot more symbolic sense with "red" on the other side of the wall - especially with the Soviet hammer and sickle. That would have looked strange over blue.
• Dismantling the colors bought me some time so that the project could get some exposure during an interview I was scheduled to have with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Turns out, it got some great coverage! (check that out on the HeadlineZ page)
• With the colors missing, I had an entire pallette to build, taking advantage of the web cam in the studio. The full time lapse will be seen in another entry!
