i had to unfortunately purchase a new computer, but it fits this corner quite nicely. plus i was able to set a live wallpaper so i can see the fish flying around all day 😆

The way the glass moves is incredible. The clear icon look really lets you focus on what you are creating, with no distracting colors. It reminds me of a more nuanced Aqua

I feel like when people cram a bunch of Frutiger aero stickers into a huge collage it doesn’t really fit with the aesthetic, it’s too in your face and overstimulating compared to examples of its prime which was more subtle

I must admit I don't really support their government, but the tall buildings and the green to inhabitant ratio (the highest in Asia, iirc) really makes for some gorgeous pics, doesn't it?

I like it cause it looks cool and high quality.

If you look closely at the world of Mirror's Edge, it looks exactly like that "promised future" we grew up seeing in aesthetics like Frutiger Aero. Everything is clean, bright, organized, full of white surfaces and modern architecture that conveys a sense of efficiency and well-being. It's the kind of visual that promises a better, more practical, almost perfect life, that optimistic future where technology and hyper-capitalism solve everything.

But the game kind of breaks that promise, I'll explain without spoilers.

Behind this impeccable appearance, there is a totally controlled city, where surveillance is constant and freedom practically doesn't exist. And that's where the criticism comes in: what seemed like an ideal future becomes, in practice, a sterile, standardized, and somewhat soulless environment. Everything works... but nobody is really human.

And the use of colors makes this even more evident. In Frutiger Aero, the colors are vibrant, fluid, somewhat natural, conveying energy, freshness, life. In Mirror's Edge, the city is colorful and seems clean and vibrant, but none of the color is natural; everything belongs to corporations, brands, and power structures, including the use of colors. It's as if even the "promised future" only exists for those who can pay.

In the end, Mirror's Edge takes this visual ideal of a "clean and optimistic future" aligned with what Frutiger Aero sold, but it criticizes the era when aesthetics were fashionable. It shows that this future may be beautiful on the outside, but on the inside it can mean control, loss of identity, and very limited freedom.

Screen captured directly from our old laptop. I remember being fascinated with it because the new Vista operating system looked so futuristic compared to our other computers at the time running Windows XP. Surprised it’s still intact after all these years.

I recently painted my room and I thought the blue could give of some frutiger aero vibe

I didn't choose this colour with the intention of it being frutiger aero but I've always admired the asethetic

is this paint too dark to bother trying to frutiger aero. I'm not bothered either way but it could be cool to theme it around that

thank you !

The place is in Düsseldorf, Germany.

As soon as I saw the building and its surroundings, I felt like I was in a Frutiger Aero world. It might not have all the necessary Frutiger Aero features, but I was happy because it was probably the closest thing to Frutiger Aero that I had seen. It was awesome. Btw, I erased the people in the pictures. Maybe I can edit the pictures by adding more clouds and strong sunlight. Of course, there should be some waves and fresh fruit around.

What do you think, guys? Do the pictures have potential for editing? Should I give them some Frutiger Aero vibes?

It's not complete but want to know if I'm on the right track

I get that it’s very pleasing to look at, but is there more to it than just fish, water, plants, bubbles, blue and green?
