Back in 1997, before Apple was Apple, then interim CEO Steve Jobs gave this keynote speech about re-branding the company with the slogan “Think Different.” Clad in his customary black turtleneck, Jobs gives some interesting insight on branding, marketing, advertising, and Apple’s general company ethos at the time. While some of the things he says might not be applicable to how Apple’s currently doing business, this video offers a rare glimpse at a watershed moment for arguably the most powerful company in the world.

(Above: R2-D2 and C-3PO from Star Wars: The Baroque Version) I’ve just spent the last hour or so flipping through the digital sketchbook of Swedish illustrator Mattias Adolfsson and I can’t help but feeling like I’ve been exposed to the soul of a creative genius. Adolfsson’s style is unique and refreshing, and his entire collection is certainly worthy of a thorough browse. But since time is money, after the jump we’ve abridged his portfolio and included his most impressive complete series (Star Wars: The Baroque Version) and 20 select illustrations. (Most of which, as a testament to his astonishing work process, come from 2010.) Click here for Adolfsson’s blog and here to purchase a print in his Etsy shop.
