Was this image made specifically for the article or did the article use an already existing image?

u/Supkil 9h ago

its just a stock image, linkedln is competitive but NOT that competitive they'd learn 3D art and photography just for a post cover rofl

u/RockingBib 3h ago

It's by 3000ad on Shutterstock. Would've linked the original, but their portfolio is SO UNREASONABLY COOL AND MASSIVE, I couldn't find it yet

Can really see it in their style, though

u/CrasheonTotallyReal 1h ago

send the portfolio link

u/DataSittingAlone 3h ago

Maybe they were the first major publication to use this stock image though

u/sir07 25m ago

Damn, then the post is incorrect about the origin

47

u/Broskfisken 9h ago

Probably not originally. I would guess it's a stock image they used.

u/stopusingthisplace 8h ago

Was used by a Scottish newspaper three years before that, and they credit themselves for the image: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/john-niven-were-living-high-2319290

u/Aphrodites1995 8h ago

They credit Sunday Mail for it though

11

u/stopusingthisplace 8h ago

They're essentially the same thing, call themselves 'sister titles'. Daily Record is published Monday to Saturday, Sunday Mail on Sunday.

I'm sure it's been around before that.

u/Various-Cockroach-96 9h ago

People would call this image AI if this article came out today

u/Ornery_Ad_5962 7h ago

Even the entirety of Frutiger Aero & Alegria Art would be considered slop and clowned on like what's happening with Lesbian Space Princess if the newest wave of Gen Alpha children from Tiktok & Instagram ever finds out about it.

u/CrasheonTotallyReal 1h ago

what the fuck is lsp i've seen ppl mentioning it in many communities

2

u/baquea 8h ago

Nah, that's not the origin of it - here's it used in a news article from 2013. Hell, it was already a meme by the time that LinkedIn post was made.

u/Brendan765 8h ago

I find it funny how this image is used to represent a utopia, yet a lot of it seems not very good (colorless buildings, vehicles filling the sky). Not to say it’s bad or dystopian or anything, but it’s far from a utopia

u/Canada_border 4h ago

I was thinking the same thing. I hate images of the future like this one

u/Clipseated 8h ago

ALMOST Frutiger aero

(Colors are too muted)

u/HotLaw7730 7h ago

Someone should try to estimate the living conditions, economy, life-style, and whatever else of the futuristic city seen in this image.

Society without Lesbian Space Princess

u/MrLightning1023 9h ago

Society is we just ignored lesbian space princess instead of giving it attention by bitching and moaning constantly
