Lisa Sheehan / "It's a Rich Man's World"
Wired Magazine's Money 2025 money issue, aptly titled "It's a Rich Man's World," as imagined by artist Lisa Sheehan. How did she bring this piece to life? In her own words: "To make the credit card as authentic as possible I redrew the American Express pattern in Illustrator with the WIRED headline included. The card was then created in Cinema 4D and I drew the etching of Trump in photoshop. This all came together and was animated to give the feel of an apple pay screen. This was a multi disciplined approach, 2D textures drawn and then rendered in 3D." You can check out the animated piece and more of Lisa's work here.
